Anglo-Saxon cultural elements

You did your best to stamp those out back in 1066

Do you use it differently to "English"?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Maybe it is interchangeable sometimes, but English people would rather point at the UK, while Anglo-Saxons often abusively refers to UK plus majorly white former British colonies, USA, Canada, Australia and New-Zealand.

Interesting. I'd probably call that "the anglosphere", Anglo-Saxon is specifically the pre-Norman-conquest residents of what is now England.
