PR girl I will reply to your other stufflater but this I couldnt resist
By implying that British and English are synonomous you imply that the Scots, Welsh etc are english ! Youre cruising for a bruising haha but dont worry nothing to feel guilty about - its how we learn . But its not just a little semantic error it fails to take account of centuries of history, war etc etc
Britain was British before the English got here. Its probably a very old Celtic term perhaps from the Welsh Prydein . If you read some history books about this little island you will read many acccounts of the English fighting the British ! Then of course the English became part of Britain - but Britain really is a very old term with old roots.
Anyway back later with more - you keep going girl haha
