including England...because it's English, not (just) British (or European, or Earthean).
Hrm, is there a name for something that comes from Earth?
I wonder if English will stop being called "British English" and return to just being called "English", when/if the Scots choose to become independent...or will USeans then call the English language "Northern Irish, Welsh, and English, English"?
I think the term British English (despite having its own subgroups) is used to distinguish it from other forms of English, American English being the prime example. In terms of the Scots becoming independent, they are having a referendum that will give more power to the Scottish Parliament, but it wont be independence like the Irish have, because its being done through politics and not through war.
