Whoops! Switched to "British Isles" -- update should be percolating now
- darajava 2y agoI prefer the term “Atlantic Archipelago”. The “British Isles” encompassing a non-british sovereign state is contentious. Other good terms are “Britain and Ireland” or the “British-Irish isles”
- MCSP 2y agoNow switched to "Britain + Ireland," thanks!
- card_zero 2y agoYeah, "Britain and Ireland" is straightforward. "Atlantic Archipelago" makes me think you mean the Canary Islands.
- bumbledraven 2y ago"British Isles" is the commonly-accepted term, and it doesn't seem to be particularly contentious outside of Ireland. As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles notes: > As a term, "British Isles" is a geographical name and not a political unit.
