Really, all this calls out is how annoying it is to have England, then Great Britain, and then also the UK with all different members.
Great Britain and the U.K don't have different members. They're the same thing.
The only difference is in regard to the British Isles, which includes the U.K - I.e, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland - and the Irish Republic.
Though I agree it's confusing. And many people within the British Isles take offence when someone makes a mistake with these terms as they pretty much all hate the English.
All of this may be right but I'm pretty sure if I call a dude from Wales a Brit, he won't be happy.
Kindof like calling a Ukrainian a Russian (once were both Soviets...)

Except the Welsh are Brits.
The only people who take offence to being called Brits are the Southern Irish.

I disagree here. Welsh people will always consider themselves Welsh, first and foremost and will generally get upset if you call them British in the first instance. same for the Scots and Irish - and recently English people tend to think of themselves in nationalistic terms in the first instance as well...

I thought Northern Ireland was part of the UK but not part of Great Britain? See, it's too confusing.
