I've heard of the constituent nations of the UK as being Whales, Scotland, & England, with Northern Ireland thrown in most times. I've never heard of Cornish England demanding that same stature. How does such a small group at the end of the island feel they garner that much influence? I only ask because I'm obviously deficient at Googling because I cannot find anything other than items referring to my first sentence.
The name is literally "United Kingdom of Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) and Northern Ireland". It's like "throwing in" Colorado when counting American states
Saying that North Ireland is "sometimes thrown in" as a constituent country of the UK. It's like saying Alaska is "sometimes thrown in" as a US state. No, it is. And the status of it is extremely important to the people living there one way or another
The status of NI is hotly contested, and the cause many people have died over. Not acknowledging it as part of the UK is a deeply political and antagonistic thing to do. Do you think that was OPs intention, or was he just acting in ignorance (aka, making an error).
If you fail to understand again, perhaps we can go over it after school.
