England vs Britain

I feel like it would be so much easier to talk about Celtic nations online if the general internet population understood that England ≠ Britain ≠ the UK ≠ the British Isles.
I remember someone I followed on Tumblr received an ask where the asker was going "I thought Welsh people were English because I thought England was the island, and Britain was the country with London etc".
I also feel like since there's been Welsh, Scottish, and Cornish people online recently saying "don't say Britain when you mean England", some people have taken that to mean "never say Britain and only say England", when we just mean "stop talking about Britain like it's one homogenised culture where everywhere is England".
