    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

      And then, surprise! It’s a UK company so they artificially put it at the TOP of the alphabetical list, but you didn’t notice it before you scrolled everywhere else first.

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

        Same here, can be (G)ermany or (D)eutschland.
        And when the website sucks (looking at you Microsoft), it’s Deutschland, but placed in the list at G.

          Or (A)llemagne, (N)iemcy, (T)yskland, (S)aksa, (V)asija (you won’t encounter the last two unless you use a website in Finnish or Estonian, however the first three are used in numerous countries including Germany’s neighbors).
          The lists are occasionally auto-translated, sometimes I see “🇹🇷 Truthahn”.

            In my case it’s either (A)ustria, (Ö)sterreich (listed as O), or (Ö)sterreich (listed after Z)

      Or (B)ritain? Once I even found (T)he UK, which I only discovered by searching the page source.
