My HS history teacher had the word England on a test. And we all got it wrong, because we thought she meant literally England. She meant Britain. But you know, places like, I don't know, Northern Ireland, used to be called England. Basically because the king of England is also the king of the United Kingdom. And the UK parliament is in London, England. But people who live in, Scotland, like you to say they live in Britain, not England. Calling Scotland, England, is an old, and outdated, they say. Call us British, they say. Of course you could never call them English, because they were never called that. That's not accurate. Don't call Northern Ireland England, because they also think that's outdated. Of course you could never call them British. That's not outdated. That's just not accurate. Ireland is a separate island. The channel islands are considered part of Britain though. Although some of them are separate countries too. This is all getting very complicated, isn't it?
