I'm so confused.

Where do Britons come from? Britain, right? okay, so what is Britain? England you say? But wait, Britons should count those who come from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so does that mean the Welsh are also Britons? Apparently even people from British territories in the middle of the Caribbean are also British. What???

These are the facts that I have gathered from Wikipedia from a reliable source:

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland= England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland

Great Britain= the island that they all rest upon (not including all of the island that Ireland is on)

The Republic of Ireland aka Éire= the part of the island where the Ireland that doesn't associate with Britons is

England/ Scotland/ Wales/ Northern Ireland= four different countries, but together unite to create the UK, which is one big-a country

British People= citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Britons= British People

Ergo, to call Ewan McGregor a Briton would be the correct utilization of the word.



I'm glad, I like saying Briton, and now I can make a list of my favourite Britons and have the Scots join the English.


Also, none of this matters. Why am I awake.
