Drifting a bit off topic, but hey ho ...

Not having a pop at anybody in particular but I really hate this 'rUK' nonsense.
It's just a handy term to differentiate between the UK as it stands at the moment and a post-Scottish-independence UK. Other suggested terminology welcomed.

The name of the country is the UK.
Except that it isn't. The name (at present) is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Again, UK is just a handy abbreviation and would presumably continue to be used, albeit with a different meaning, if the Scots vote to leave.
