Unless you play rugby.

The Ireland Rugby Union side is made up of players from the Republic and the North.

Should have said active Admins. A few of the Emeritus Admins came from Heaven - Bel, Viola, Clare ... mumble ... mumble ...

To add to Siegfied's comment, GIN is always written in capitals. It just is.

I find the following supplementary definition to be quite helpful, though I can't remember where I got it from. It was useful in a wedding speech in Vermont not long ago:

“To foreigners, a Yankee is an American; to Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner; to Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner; to Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander; to New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter, and to a Vermonter, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast.”

Many New Yorkers (and most Americans) seem to think that New York City (and even New York State) = Manhattan.

And many Americans think that England = London. I go to England just about every summer but rarely to London, yet every year people ask me about my trip to London.

When Americans talk about Manhattan do they mean all of Manhattan? I'm not even sure most Britons are aware that Harlem is part of Manhattan!
