Talk:Irish Isles

I have never heard this term used, not even in Ireland. SemperBlotto 16:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 203 Google Books hits for this, but all of the ones I've seen seem to refer to Irish iles (not The Irish Iles). Mglovesfun (talk) 16:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, all the Google book hits that I've looked at seem to be using the term as a simple sum of parts - like "French rivers". SemperBlotto 16:33, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I lived in Ireland until recently and have never heard this term. The Irish tend either not to worry about the term British Isle, or use the term Britain and Ireland when talking about it.--Dmol 09:18, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
