England - Great Britain - UK

England is in Great Britain which is in the UK. Am I the only who thought England, Great Britain, and the UK were all the same?

I can understand the colloquialism of referring to the United Kingdom as Great Britain, but referring to the whole of the UK as England? What.

Am I the only who thought England, Great Britain, and the UK were all the same?

I doubt it.

Anyway:

great Britian i clump in with UK, but England as England

I hate it when people call me British or say I'm from the UK. I'm English, from England.

You along with every American I have ever met, think that it's all the same.

Isn't knowledge something.

I would assume it's a common mistake among you American types.

I love girls with English accents. As long as they're not snotty.

I always knew that ,but I have noticed a lot of Americans seem to use the three interchangeably. Something I blame on our school school system for not teaching geography properly.

Whenever I hear a male speaking with an English accent, I always assume he is a criminal genius mastermind. With class.

the entire island that England is on is Great Britain. So Scottish and Welsh people technically are British too since their countries are on that piece of land.

I doubt it.

Actually Britain is just England & Wales. Great Britain is England Wales & Scotland. Fried_Shrimp

I know the difference, but there are a lot of people who get confused by it. To be honest though, it is a bit confusing at first.

You are English, but you are also British, and you are from the UK.

Erm, not wanting to be persistent but seriously what the heck is with the Ilse of Man on the map on page one? Aha, ha. Seriously someone needs to go back to school. NorthernRoses

I don't see why people have a problem with this, although I do love it when people on GS have said England isn't a Country.

That's a Euler diagram. I don't think they're trying to be geographically accurate.
