    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

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

      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.
