Data Is Beautiful

The term British Isles is, of course, disputed by the Irish.

I just call em all cunts, except for the irish those cunts are cool.

OK, looking at this I can now understand why it may not all make immediate sense to someone who didn't grow up here.

The Scots wouldn't agree with this. I've spent a lot of time there.

The Shetlands, Orkneys, Harris and the rest of the Hebrides aren't even mentioned. Haha

British Isles is not the term the Irish use. Atlantic Archipelago or just the isles is proffered.

Now if someone can tell me what exactly "Britain" is? People say it all the time, like this is the largest statue of a vulva in Britain. Just shorthand for Great Britain, or is it something else?

The words that ultimately gave us “Britain” have been in use for about 2,000 years, give or take a century or two. Politically and culturally a tremendous lot has happened in the meantime. Which is probably why we’re left with this almost indecipherable mine field.

FYI "British Islands" isn't a specific name whereas all the others are

This chart: "England, Scotland and Wales are in Great Britain"

Wight, the Scillies, Anglesey, Sheppy, Anglesey, the Shetlands, the Orkneys, the Hebrides, and thousands more: "Are we a joke to you?"

This is a good way to distinguish the terms. I wonder if there is a good colour scheme to also indicate the nation states as district from the landmasses

Can someone do one for terminology? Is calling people British mainly socially acceptable? I imagine the exception is the Irish from Ireland, but those from northern Ireland may give that a pass?

Huh, is that the old Jersey?
