(Great) Britain? UK?

Ever thought of the differences between Britain, Great Britain, England, United Kingdom (UK)? Britain is the name of the island, which England, Wales & Scotland are located. Great Britain is this big island and its outlying islets. England is just a country. UK refers to NEWS, i.e. Northern Ireland, England, Wales & Scotland. It is a confederation. However, the term "British" had been so inaccurately used that it had come to mean "of England".
