Isn't that bit of England/GB/UK situation?
- usr1106 5y agoNot convinced. Those UK regions are clearly defined current regions and used equally wrong in most languages. In the Germany case they are extinct people and different languages have picked different ones to name the current country. I would be surprised if any language named GB after Scotland or Wales.
- the_af 5y agoI'm tempted to quote George Mikes, author of "How to be an alien": > "When people say England, they sometimes mean Great Britain, sometimes the United Kingdom, sometimes the British Isles - but never England"
