No grievance mongering. No woke points for me. Just check your mentions. If you stick up for keeping A-S, nazis love it, comment, and retweet you. They are co-opting your work for a racist agenda.

Early Medieval English/England, or Early English/England. The North Atlantic also works as a more general term for Britain and Ireland too.

Thank you! As a layperson, I like how the time period and geography are right in there. Much better on multiple fronts, really.
