Meh, it's not a particularly massive deal but damn, it really grinds on you after a while.
Its a pet peeve of mine also particularly when its about WW2. Since my grandparents fought for Britain and not just England
The other thing you have to keep in mind is when people say England and mean Britain (or, as I prefer, United Kingdom, because Britain and Great Britain are technically Geographic or Political terms, neither of which is correct), they mean Britain.
99% of the time an American is just ignorant (period) of the distinction and doesn't mean anything more by the statement. I obviously can't speak for everyone, but that's probably the case most of the time.I know its just the Olympics and team GB which have messed up my brain
