If only they had told you this at language school

This week I take a light-hearted look at selected aspects of the English language and culture.  The opinions are purely personal, and you will be relieved to know that they are not supported by any scientific research.

Most countries have their distinct stereotypical images.  Very often, these images are outdated.  England – like most other countries, is becoming increasingly multicultural.  This means that culture and language continue to develop. 

 

1.  England, Britain, Great Britain, The United Kingdom, The UK, are all the same thing, right?

Wrong – the United Kingdom of Great Britain is comprised of the 4 countries of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.  These terms seem interchangeable
