Teribus. The pedant in me would have to accept you are correct. I have no doubt the Author of the piece did not keep track of the transition from England to the UK over the space of many centuries. Americans in particular do not always recognise the subtlety of the distinction.I can concede that refusal to acknowledge the difference between English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and British does cause anguish for some. The English did the dastardly deed all on their own, therefore the rest of us cannot be held accountable.
