England = England
Great Britain = England + Scotland + Wales
United Kingdom = Great Britain + Northern Ireland
You all act like it's totally confusing and that it's only possible to understand it if you're the queen or something. Morons.

Yes it was worth the 5 point because I would bet you anything that at least one person read this who didn't realise and now they understand. That makes it all worth it.

No, don't practice decorum. Just realize that morons and the undereducated abound on Yahoo Answers. If it really bugs you and raises your blood pressure like it does me, get off Yahoo Answers. Believe me, we won't be missed. Ignorance is bliss.
addition - So how are you doing today? Can you believe the amount of crap you are taking because you tried to explain and educate people? Welcome to my world. I got tired of the countless of times I saw people on Yahoo Answers use the wrong word of a group of homonyns. Mostly it was one of three groups: here and hear; their, there and they're; to, two, and too. I got called "high and mighty". From then on, people would watch my answers and jump on me for every oversight in grammar or spelling I made. You can't explain to these people that there's a difference between an oversight or a mistype and being ignorant. So I have adapted a new policy. I have decided to end any answer where I have been sarcastic or tried to point out ignorance with the following "tag" line: I'll start being nicer when you start being smarter! You are welcome to use the line if you want. Watch how much I get bashed for this addition!

Some folk wrongly believe that Britain is solely England, However I find this rather amusing just goes to show how uneducated they are! It used to rile me but now I couldn't care less, one thing that does bloody rile me though is the people who can't understand that Northern Ireland is part of the UK and not Ireland, and that we are not Irish we are British or Northern Irish! aaah!
Sorry rant over!!!!!!

So what ?
The people in England made those names - some know some don't know - So what ? You can't expect to every one to know everything - unless it is a person in the UK it self

What was the purpose of this? What a waste of your five points.

Uh, I am not confused. But really, you should practice a bit more decorum towards the undereducated who flock here.

At least we have our little lap dog Tony Blair for a little longer. He has been a wonderful toy for our stupid president to play with from time to time.
