Didn't expect to have this little debate today, but it is an interesting angle on how language can matter.

North of Ireland / Northern Ireland etc is a classic and contemporary example in that respect
If used in a factual and/or historical sense in the right climate then I wouldn't blink twice.

I've just bumped a quote from Lither from a thread that you were one of the biggest contributors to, to show you how it is often the case that Hitler and the Nazis are portrayed as socialists and I've seen on wider scale how "National Socialists" is used on social media.

If you haven't seen it yourself then you're not in a place to argue to the contrary.
