True, bad choice of words considering the topic, not much left of Anglo-Saxon identity today.
When I grew up (Sweden) I remember that Anglo-Saxon as a term was much more commonly used in daily press and books than today.
Reading the Wikipedia entry it seems like the my use of the term Anglo-Saxon is more common in the non-Anglophonic world.
