You’ve reminded me of my favourite one of those that’s probably mostly experienced by British people
On a country or language list I’m either looking for, “United Kingdom” “Great Britain”, “Britain”/“British”, “England”/” English"
Now that’s kinda fair enough, it’s usually UK, so I go to the bottom and start my hunt there.
The big problem comes when the list is ordered by whatever value they’re using to represent the choice, not the text itself, so you get stuff like “United Kingdom” where “Great Britain” should be.

As a German, you often don’t find Deutschland in a list behind Danmark, but between other countries starting with G.
I often wonder how many man hours have been wasted searching for the country. Especially when it’s not strictly necessary.
Its a minimum wage job in the UK im applying for. Lets assume its a safe bet and put UK at the top of the list.
