Right, and calling someone English when they're Welsh or Scottish may rather annoy them.

There's an animosity towards the English from the Welsh. I believe the Scottish generally feel the same way towards them. England are like family that we love, but we don't really like very much.

Northern Ireland is a bit of a tricky one because people from Northern Ireland generally consider themselves "Northern Irish", "British" or "Irish".

I don't know if anyone would take offence at "Northern Irish", but you don't want to incorrectly guess either of the others!

Thanks. I imagine it would be like confusing an Australian and a New Zealander. Or a Canadian and an American. We're just so darn similar that it's so important to us to be considered distinct.

Also makes me think about Quebec. Canada would not be Canada without Quebec. But there's always been some sibling rivalry with the province.

Finally, while this isn't Reddit and I have to learn to be more metered about my silliness, I just can't help but include this, as it's quite relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2q0T7QXETs
