Explanation:

If you live in the UK, you've probably had the irritating experience of trying to find "United Kingdom" in a list of countries, only to discover that some well-meaning person has listed the country under the name "Great Britain" instead. It's an annoyance, but it's also indicative of a wider problem: people just don't know how to refer to the UK.

All over the world, people use the terms England, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom interchangeably, even though they all mean different things. Indeed, a fair chunk of actual Britons probably can't articulate the difference either—and don't exactly help perceptions by referring to themselves as "British" rather than "United Kingdomes."

But in case you're ever wondering how you should refer to the UK (and, perhaps more importantly, how you shouldn't), here's a quick guide to understanding the various ways to refer to the rainy corner of northwest Europe that once ran the largest empire in history.
