Apologies. This might not be the perfect community for the post.
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?
I'd think calling Scot a Brit is like calling Peruvian an American. Technically true but kinda rude
Depends on their own views on the union. Don't go lumping people together as all having the same opinion now!
northern Ireland may give that a pass?
Never push a national identity onto someone from Northern Ireland. Because that's also a political Identity
In general British is a national identity. English/Scottish/Welsh would be a cultural identity.
You would call them what they say they are.
Call someone from Scotland British and see how that works out for you….
Going by the last polls it's about an equal chance whether they'd approve or not
Seems to work very well in most cases.
What's the bets ramble81 calls himself Scottish cos his great great great great great great great great great great great great granda once sniffed a Tunnock's Teacake? 😂
I'm not going to take a pop at them because it is entirely possible that they live in Scotland, are passionate about Scottish independence and has similarly committed friends and family. Likewise, I'm only speaking from personal experience as someone who is English, but has discussed stuff with Scottish friends on occassion.
The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland should pull an epic gamer move and simplify this chart.
they call the state ROI (republic of ireland) to distinguish between the island
Now add the EU.
what about canada and australia?
For a moment, I thought, this comment was in response to the Europe map someone else posted. There the answer would have been easy, of course: Eurovision. 🙃
show the entire commonwealth, and every place the UK has ever colonized?
well sorry idk the difference between commomweath and the map, isn't that the point?
No one outside of the UK includes Ireland in the British Isles.
"British and Irish Isles" is the most common descriptor for the whole archipelago I see, and it seems a fair one even if it's a bit long. It'd be nice if we could all agree on something catchier but that seems unlikely, all things considered
Gaelic Isles
Celtic would be better. Gaelic literally means coming from the Gaels, aka the Irish. Welsh and Cornish are Brythonic language speakers, not Goidelic/Gaelic, but they are all Celtic languages. The Angles, Saxons, Frisians and Jutes invaded Celtic Britain starting in the 400s.
Why the hell is it so complicated
I though it was complicated here in Australia where our states/territories (idk the differencd) all can have some very different rules and stuff at least we have mostly clear borders
Why the hell is it so complicated
One hell of a complex and crazy history in a very tiny space over the last two thousand years.
Hell, you could just cleave off the last thousand as a reference and be done with that. Although that does leave out some juicy origin stories.
