[Buddha-l] What's wrong with a little Dharma?

[Gregory Bungo]

Hi,

I thought "English" was the term that excluded Scottish and Welsh
people, and that "Briton" and "British" included them.  Isn't "UK" intended
to include the Northern Irish, as in the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland?

Sincerely,

Greg Bungo

Replying to Stephen's suggestion that the term "Briton" would do, it is 
equally obnoxious in some quarters of the United Kingdom when citizens as a 
whole are labeled British, since many Scots and Welsh people object that 
they are not Britons.
So correct usage might have to be "UK citizens" when referring go the entire 
population.
