How do you say "United Kingdom" in German?
Q. We use a font that doesn't have the "B" double s character for "Gro B Britannien", so we want to use the german translation for United Kingdom instead, any ideas?
Asked by whyisiticalled - Mon Sep 24 11:15:52 2007 - Languages - 7 Answers - Comments

A. Hardly any German would know what "das Vereinigte Konigreich" is. We use "Grossbritannien" (spell it with a "ss" if you don't have the "ss" which is actually NOT being phased out) or mostly "England" for the whole lot, again because most people are unaware of the differences between England, Scotland, and Wales. They can't help knowing about Northern Ireland after it was in the news for decades.

why is the emergency phone number in the united kingdom "999" and "911" in the united states?
Q. Doesn't it make more sense to have the emergency number "999" ?
Asked by slyxavier - Tue Jan 20 22:15:40 2009 - Safety - 7 Answers - Comments

A. It was implemented as a feature to prevent abuse of the service. In theory, hitting 999 accidentally is much easier than hitting 911.

Uni fees subsidy for Welsh students, the Scots are subsidised is this a "United Kingdom"?

A. Professor Andrew Hughes Hallett is a world class economist who divides his time between George Mason University in Virginia and St Andrews. He spoke to Newsweek Scotland today about the implications of the Comprehensive Spending Review. He carefully explained how Scotland is actually in surplus, how the calculations on UK spending misrepresent Scotland and why the bank bail out is not the disaster some would have us believe. Forget what you have been told. When the sums are done Scotland actually sends a small subsidy to England, not the other way around. The reason why YOU think YOUR country (England) subsidise Scotlad is because the Westminster Government hides some oil revenues from the North Sea as Extra Terrorial Revenue.

A. The United Kingdom is a country that consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. In fact, the official name of the country is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." Great Britain is the name of the island northwest of France and east of Ireland that consists of three somewhat autonomous regions: England, Wales, and Scotland. Therefore, England is a part of Great Britain, which is a part of the United Kingdom. The U.K. includes England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

A. Despite several correct answers, I did not see a complete answer. The United Kingdom is the official name of the government that we in the United States usually refer to incorrectly as England. This includes, as some have mentioned, Northern Ireland , but also several other areas: . Great Britain, on the other hand, is the largest of the "British Isles". The "British Isles" group includes Ireland and several neighboring islands, much of which is *not* part of the U.K. (Ireland, for instance). Thus, Great Britain is *the name of the island* on which lie England, Scotland and Wales. I hope this clarifies things. Jim,
