    You’ve reminded me of my favourite one of those that’s probably mostly experienced by British people

    On a country or language list I’m either looking for, “United Kingdom” “Great Britain”, “Britain”/“British”, “England”/” English"

    Now that’s kinda fair enough, it’s usually UK, so I go to the bottom and start my hunt there.

    The big problem comes when the list is ordered by whatever value they’re using to represent the choice, not the text itself, so you get stuff like “United Kingdom” where “Great Britain” should be.

    This is not uncommon
