It's the UK or the United Kingdom or Great Britain or Britain NOT just England

I drew this for an Anglophile friend of mine from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada I knew online from a forum in 2011.

As you can see, I repurposed a spare UK passport application for the canvas of this piece depicting what's on a British passport.

This was a local headline I thought was funny, I preserved it/took it's pic - pics last longer..

In September 2012

This was something I drew on a map with MS Paint in response to an American, from rural California, telling me how the UK looks like a man riding a pig...

I drew what I saw.

This is just a funky collage I made in MS Paint about my country.

I sum from this that...
Britain is made up of half of a lost continent sitting under Europe (which explains hills and rocks vs. flatness on adjacent sides of the English Channel or North Sea)?
and North America. - Historically and politically GB's in Europe, but geologically, it's not!? - It's what Europe crashed into burying it under Europe and when it did that, it pushed this lost continent that's Parts of England/Wales today into North America, parts of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and even outside of the UK; Ireland, Iceland - North American continent... But all that Icelandic volcanic activity pushed North America around 2, 000 miles due west and gave birth to these ilse 21 miles off continental Europe.

 

You're possibly thinking of the NW European plain that was flooded 9000 years ago and became the North Sea-

Doggerland eh?

Hmm...

I really was hoping it was Atlantis...
but Doggerland...

I assume Doggerland's the bright green, which still draws my attention between the differences of Calais and Dover and GB Vs. the flatness of from Calais to Amsterdam.

What did the Germans call Great Britain during WWII?

All the old American movies have Germans shouting "Englander!" all the time. Did Hitler or Goebbels use any term consistently?

All Americans were called Yankees during colonial times.

 

Tommies...

 

Igirisu is mainly both England and Britain in Japanese.
イギリス人 です (Katakana then Kanji and then Hiragana)...
Igirisujin desu
"Igilisujin des'
I'm British or I'm English

英語 (Kanji)
Eigo
"aygo"
English (language)

Basic rules for writing in Japanese.
If it's Japanese, you write it in Hiragana!
If it's not Japanese, you write it in Katakana!
And if it predates the Shoguns and is; Like nature or whatever; You write in Kanji.
Japanese, a language evolved from Chinese.
Also you read from right to left when reading from top to bottom, I think.

 

Yes, but technically all the green from the Bay of Biscay to Shetland and Denmark was the NW European plain. At the end of the last Ice Age, worldwide sea levels rose 300 feet.

 

Where Cave bears, Mammoths, rhinos and Sabre tooth tigers roamed...

 

Don't forget the "Perfid Albion" but there are many more here:

"English" ? it all depends where you live. In Quebec, it's the Englsih speaking Canadians.
In the U.S, some Amish still call all non-Amish the "Englsih".

 

That's why I wanted to have T Shirt made in Croydon, England to wear in PA just incase I went to Lancaster, PA...
It was going to say 'I'm not Amish, I'm English'.. But the guy never got my humour. - They'll print anything on a T Shirt for you, but they talked me out of it, for some reason.

 

Last thing I read/heard on the subject was that it is actually derived from Korean although both use or at least used to use the same characters as Chinese. Indeed there is a serious question as to whether "Chinese" is a language or a bunch of languages that have common symbols for most words.

 

Yep-
