I do get annoyed when people use English when they mean British. Or think all Scotland is the Highlands.

I'm sure you wouldn't be shocked in the least to know many of the murikan's think that way. The variance of the British inflections on the English language mean nothing to many of them and result with calling it all English. I find the British linguistics rather fascinating where you can track down where a person lived solely on their accent infliction right down to their townships of origin. So much so that you can tell the difference between someone from Eastern parts of London to someone from the Northern parts of London.

As for the Highlands... there are some really dumb people out there. 'Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.' I've run across many who think England is the "low lands" due to the placement of borders on a map. When I have asked the same group to show me all of the United Kingdom, they tend to miss out on everything that isn't the main lands encompassing England, Scotland, & Wales.
