There's no abuse about it. The UK invented the English language, you can't really claim they are using it wrong. Country, state and nation are different things.

"you can't really claim they are using it wrong" lol, watch me.

You can claim all you want, but this is how the terms are used in the real world. In English, real-world use trumps wishful thinking.

The UK certainly did not invent the English language, as it's only been around for a few hundred years as an entity.

Indeed. It was invented by a group of displaced Frenchman in the mid 11th century.

Displaced is a strange term to use for an invading force
