    What’s worse is not knowing if it’s going to be (E)ngland, (G)reat Britain or the (U)nited Kingdom. I always scroll to the wrong point on the list first

      Similarly, sometimes forms use foreign countries’ English names, and sometimes the native names. Pretty annoying as a German.

      And a special “screw you” to any UI devs that don’t use the native behavior when typing letters while focused on a select field.

      Or (B)ritain? Once I even found (T)he UK, which I only discovered by searching the page source.

      Same here, is it going to be (H)olland, (T)he Netherlands or (N)etherlands, with the minor inconvenience of (N)ederland.

        Same here, can be (G)ermany or (D)eutschland.
        And when the website sucks (looking at you Microsoft), it’s Deutschland, but placed in the list at G.
