You don’t have to worry about saying “the British Isles” lol, that’d be ridiculous. And probably based on some severely outdated stereotypes.
Referring to an Irish person as English is about as egregious as referring to a Canadian as an American or a New Zealander as an Australian. You’ll get corrected. The horror!
