    For the majority of my youth, I had assumed that England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom were all aliases for the same place. Thankfully I never had occasion to reveal this error to UK folks who might be alienated by it.

    I mean hot take, but the whole “United Kingdom” concept is sort of pointless. Either confirm to international norms, or accept that no one outside your borders cares. There’s a reason why the only major organization that respects the distinction is the governing body of the national sport.

      Not being from the UK: It's not really pointless. Scotland is way different from England, and I haven't been to Wales but I think that is, too. As for Northern Ireland: I don't even need to cover that one.

        I think the parent comment meant that, in this case, make them actual countries.

          Not for the US to decide. They have a bit of history there.
