Why is there an assumption that if I identify you by the larger island you live on, that I’m also not aware of the specificity? Is this a cultural thing? Like a point of pride in England or something?
I wouldn’t take umbrage if you said to me, “You live in North America.” Georgraphically, that’s true. I wouldn’t automatically assume you were confusing me with Mexicans, Canadians, or Carribean people. You’re just describing the larger land, which is diverse and requires specificity. Likewise, when I say Great Britain, I’m not pinpointing you to a specific culture, I’m just recognizing the region. Even the actual data supports this.
(Also, not trying to be rude, just genuinely curious about it lol)
