Do people get the difference between British and English?
just asking.
shareWhat do you mean? there are different accents - yes. and the language, both written and spoken is different. why your asking?

England is a constituent country of the United Kingdom, which includes Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) and Northern Ireland.
Therefore English are also Brits, but Brits aren't necessarily English.
If you took a poll of Americans, about three-quarters of them would say, "WTF are you talking about?" Seriously. We don't have a clue.
However, even for the other quarter, English and British are absolutely interchangeable - although I know they shouldn't be, they are for me, too. I will generally refer to anyone with an accent as being English; I'd bet most people who understand the difference would do the same.
