This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's still how we call this group from France.

Do you use it differently to "English"?

[–] oce@jlai.lu 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.
