Comment on Why is it called "overseas" even if a dispora population move to a place connected by land?

  Does a nation cease to exist after it is conquered? All the efforts to that effect by the English notwithstanding, it’s still there.

    I did not intend to imply that it did. That’s why I said “one other nation” apart from the kingdom, since the nation of Wales was incorporated into the Kingdom at the time.

    I suppose with “until the two nations joined” I did accidentally classify the Kingdom of England as a single nation. My sincerest apologies. I have corrected the error.

      Not to worry! And thank you for this civilized exchange that managed to stay clear of Godwin’s Law:)
