『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。

@timlovejoy It's proper name is actually the Union Flag - the Union Jack is only used by the Navy at sea!

@timlovejoy if you want to call it the union jack then maybe you should go out to sea. We don't need to start our own country.

@timlovejoy Haha, but it's been forever since it was actually called the Union Flag. Surely we should be getting it right for "patriotism"?

@timlovejoy That article calls it "Flag" the whole way through. That's official. No-one even knows why it's called "Jack"!!

@timlovejoy Royal site refers to it as the "Union Flag" http://bit.ly/9NrAYh except at sea. I prefer the Saltire ;o)

@timlovejoy I'm not personally suggesting changing the way everyone says it. Just that, technically 'Union Flag' is the correct way
