No one outside of the UK includes Ireland in the British Isles.

I'm English and I don't either. It's a pretty obvious hangover of British imperial pretensions.

Yeh, I don't think I would either. It does feel disrepectful

"British and Irish Isles" is the most common descriptor for the whole archipelago I see, and it seems a fair one even if it's a bit long. It'd be nice if we could all agree on something catchier but that seems unlikely, all things considered

Speaking of! Shouldn't Australia be in that chart too? And I'd like to see the "commonwealth" in the diagram too. It's all good complicated!
