Scotland vs Netherlands

[Marcus F.]

The English language really needs some updates (like there's also this habit to give Ancient Germanic tribes the same name as modern Germans). I think the Italian language on the other hand does it better by calling Germans Tedeschi.

English language ... there's also this habit to give Ancient Germanic tribes the same name as modern Germans.

English? Er ... try Latin: Germanus, Germani (Masc., Decl. 2), noun. "German".

[Marcus F.]

Erm, I know were the word comes from, I'm just saying the English could have (like the Italians) found more useful terms by now.

[Tiberius Clodius Corvinus]

We could've found other terms for THE English as well ...
