『ユニオン・ジャック』か『ユニオン・フラッグ』か。

英国(正式名称「グレイト・ブリテンおよび北アイルランド連合王国」)の「国旗」として使われているあの旗は、「ユニオン・ジャック」なのか「ユニオン・フラッグ」なのか……「ユニオン・ジャック」がTrending Topic入りしていたので見てみると、一方の説に固執してもう一方を「間違い」と決め付け、人を罵るテレビ司会者など非常に残念な光景が展開されていました。

ふと見たら、Trending TopicsにUnion Jackが入っていた。見てみたらちょっと面白かったのでまとめようと、話の発端に遡ったのだが…へー、ここからTT入りするまで成長したのか。。。 http://twitpic.com/37vkpk

Will the royal wedding see the return of the Union Jack waving, rather than the individual flags we've seen in recent years? Go Britain!

@timlovejoy I'm Welsh and we just don't feel the same about the royals or the Union Jack. So can't see us flying the flag soon :/

@Karlton81 @timlovejoy the union 'jack' was adopted by the far right wing and thus made it difficult to be 'loved' as national flag by all

@timlovejoy People fought in wars so idiots could pull you up on spelling and stuff, if only they had known they wouldn't have bothered!!

Alex Hall @ahallicks

@timlovejoy But it technically is the Union Flag? And always has been. Someone decided to call it the Union Jack wrongly and it stuck

Tim Lovejoy @timlovejoy

@ahallicks so get over it. It's only the last few years all these people have decided to change it
