Category talk:British inventors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This category seems to be messed up. All English inventors should be listed as British inventors as well: Engish inv is a subset of Brit inv., right? But that doesn't happen. For example, Jethro Tull is marked as an English inventor, but doesn't appear here, under Brit inventors. I don't see how to fix this. DonSiano 15:39, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Great Britain is made up of the following "countries", England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Therefore, A person from Scotland is called a "Scotsman". A person from Ireland is called an "Irishman". Therefore a person from England is called an "Englishman", therefore "English". "British", is a group name for all the above Countries, but natives of their respective countries like to call themselves after their own country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.230.231.253 (talk) 05:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
