Comment on Anon thinks the French are posers
It’s still how we call this group from France.
Do you use it differently to “English”?
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.
Wouldn’t the Anglosphere include every English speaking countries like South Africa, India and others?
