The name game for the UKGBNI is a no-win situation, lol. I loathe mentioning the name to anyone from there. I don't want to offend the nationalists or those who are duly proud of their country. In the meantime, these are the same people who refer to us merkins. I once made the mistake of calling it an archipelago (which it is) and got corrected for that. It can drive one mad, I tell you, lol. Like when I say Britain, I mean the whole UK, though in practice when if I'm talking to a Scot, a Welsh person, or a Northern Irelander I try to use their country if I can avoid any British or UKGBNI terms, just to avoid offending the person.
