Though actually不過其實, the tidy label hides a mess這個看似清楚的標籤底下藏著一團亂。Briton is not the same as English Briton 跟 English 並不一樣 — a Scot is a Briton in this modern sense一個蘇格蘭人在這個現代意義上算是 Briton, but may not thank you for calling them English但你叫他 English 他可能不會領情。In history class在歷史課裡, Briton can also mean the Celtic people who lived in Britain before the Anglo-Saxons arrived Briton 也可以指盎格魯撒克遜人到來之前住在不列顛的凱爾特人, so an old text and a news headline may not be pointing at the same group所以一篇古文跟一則新聞標題講的可能不是同一群人。
