The British Open's real name is the Open Chanpionship since
that is where Golf originated. But since there is a US Open also.
It's called the British Open here so the casual fan can tell the difference.

Yes I suspect that is true but I was just advising for those who did not know.

Also it irritates me when commentators on the golf actually call it the British Open and the co-commentator does not correct them.

You see this with politics and all types of news etc no one will actually challenge what someone says especially if the person is wrong. They may carp about it later but not stand up and say it is wrong in a civil advising manner.

Are we afraid to disagree in a civil manner nowadays can we only disagree behind peoples back or if done in front of them just shout for the benefit of the cameras.

It is sad that true debate and correction is being lost.
