Finally! a quick and dirty guide to the British Isles, my personal hate being people who say "Scotch" or "England" when they mean Wales. Please comment on how this can be improved, but remember, I'm trying to write it using short words.

The term Great Britain could be considered to be a political entity (England + Wales + Scotland), but if you're sticking to a purely geographical definition then shouldn't it exclude Skye, Mull, Anglesey and the Isle of Wight?

I thought that the entire point behind the aforementioned page was that it was possible to be concise without sacrificing accuracy. The revision I had in mind did not involve adding any words at all, let alone long ones; it was simply to alter the colours on the relevant map. The reason that I phrased it as a question was that I wasn't sure if I was right and couldn't be bothered to find an authoritative reference.

Incidentally, the title of the webpage appears to be "Untitled Document".

That is because I made it when I was drunk.

I replied because I was asked to suggest improvements. That is all.
