The difference between the United Kingdom (UK) England, Great Britain (GB) and the British Isles

Why is England or the UK sometimes called Britain?

"England" is sometimes, wrongly, used in reference to the whole United Kingdom, the entire island of Great Britain (or simply Britain), or indeed the British Isles. This is not only incorrect but can cause offence to people from other parts of the UK. (See nationality of the British people).

England, Scotland, Wales, Great Britain refer to different 'parts of the UK. The British Isles includes many islands not even part of the UK.

The diverse history of England, Scotland and Wales has led to very different cultural traditions; The Scots and Welsh have right to feel aggrieved whenever the term 'English' is used wrongly, to mean all three.

Countries within a Country - The United Kingdom

The name United Kingdom refers to the union of what were once four separate countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland (though most of Ireland is now independent, only Northern Ireland remains part of the UK).

The United Kingdom

The UK's full and official name is the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

History of the making of the UK

1536 - Act of Union joins England and Wales

1707 - Act of Union unites Scotland and England, together with Wales to form the Kingdom of Great Britain.

1801 - The Irish Parliament voted to join the Union. The then Kingdom of Great Britain becomes the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

1922 - Name changed to United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, when most of the Southern counties in Ireland choose independence.

Great Britain

Great Britain comprises only England, Scotland and Wales.

What's worse is when you correct them.

They just throw you a :stopitslime: and then argue non-stop that their right to the point they have you questioning if your right in the first place. That or they give you that :stopitslime: and change the topic.

Didn't learn till later how wrong it is to correct people even if they're wrong like that shyts offensive and you'll have people wanting to throw a fade for real

dont even bother man as most people will think your just a condescending know it all. i leave that alone now

not bad...but i was in the barber shop today and after discussing the Raptors nikkas was discussing how qualifying goes in the 100m races and stuff

argument 1: they do it solely based on time
argument 2: the first two in each heat automatically go through and then everyone after that is based on time.

I was with argument #2 and barber #2....barber #1 was arguing for argument #1 and then a female hairdresser came in and cosigned him. I used to run track so I was pretty sure it was #2 and it would just make more sense. shyt got heated.

Needless to say nobody was able to for sure prove the other wrong and I told em to just google it. I'm too lazy to do so myself but I stand by argument #2

I laugh at them on the inside......and sometimes on the outside, and just keep it moving. They're to far gone.

Y'all aren't going to believe this but fukk it, I had one dude in the barbershop talking about aliens cloned Bigfoot's DNA and made humans. Everyone looked at this nikka like :wtf: I can't make this shyt up, he was arguing against the entire barbershop. He was talking a lot of shyt, but that stood out the most.
