    Can someone do one for terminology? Is calling people British mainly socially acceptable? I imagine the exception is the Irish from Ireland, but those from northern Ireland may give that a pass?

            I’m not going to take a pop at them because it is entirely possible that they live in Scotland, are passionate about Scottish independence and has similarly committed friends and family. Likewise, I’m only speaking from personal experience as someone who is English, but has discussed stuff with Scottish friends on occassion.

        Going by the last polls it’s about an equal chance whether they’d approve or not

      Never push a national identity onto someone from Northern Ireland. Because that’s also a political Identity

      In general British is a national identity. English/Scottish/Welsh would be a cultural identity.

      You would call them what they say they are.

      I’d think calling Scot a Brit is like calling Peruvian an American. Technically true but kinda rude

        Depends on their own views on the union. Don’t go lumping people together as all having the same opinion now!
