ThomasPaine posted:E: unrelated but I got talking to an Irish woman at a conference a while back and she was very much against the use of the term 'Republic of Ireland' because that's apparently a British phrase and people should either use Eire or Ireland or both. I'd never heard this before, is this an actual thing or was she just being a bit much?

Random thought: If Johnson gets imprisoned for less than a year and an election's called while he's inside, will we finally have a national conversation about votes for prisoners where it's not immediately dismissed as ridiculous?

Éire or saying 'The Irish Republic' instead of 'Republic of Ireland' or anything that implies the legitimacy of the British claim on the North are things with some people, but it's not like RoI really implies The Republic of Some Bits of Ireland and not Other Never Surrender to Popes. As Irish man in mid-30s, RoI is fine for clarification, but it sounds a bit like you're talking about the national team of foot, and you should just say "Ireland". If you say "Éire" you'll get a  , and "Erin/Éireann" I will direct you to the nearest American consulate (i.e. McDonalds)

Young me worked with a Londoner years ago and I had no grasp of British politics. The way he spoke of North and South Ireland the impression I got was that the country was split down the middle Korea style with the south being where all the fundie terrorist were while the North was the place where the peaceful Irish lived under the protection of England. Turns out Northern Ireland is more like Northern cape Ireland.

The island is Ireland but Ireland is not all of the island because a northern bit of the island (but not the most northern bit of Ireland) is Northern Ireland and the rest of it is Ireland.

Guavanaut posted:The North used to be an industrial power while the South was an agrarian backwater run by religious fanatics, then the superpower that was funding the North imploded and was taken over by a bunch of gangsters who asset stripped them, leading to them losing interest in the North and it becoming a dilapidated authoritarian shell while the South prospered into tech power but with lots of low-tax liberalism. There are a bunch of cultural and historical similarities between Ireland and Korea. Theres something about being stuck next to a big island full of aggressive assholes who brutally colonise you for years that leads to similar outcomes.
