Can't We Just Call it Brukland?
Apparently, we Americans are guilty of not knowing our England from our Britain from our United Kingdom, and the Brits are getting their knickers all in a twist about it. The sub-headline of this article sums up their case: "Some US television networks proclaimed the royal baby news by welcoming
the arrival of the 'future king of England', forgetting about the rest
of the UK." I immediately began to worry about the mistakes I have probably made. And then I turned on The Daily Show, which is temporarily being hosted by the fabulous and brilliant John Oliver, himself a Brit. And what did I hear him call the royal baby but "the future king of England": http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-23423784
