I saw the language code ES and was convinced it was for estonian for a while.. Before I realised it wasn't.

@sotolf@polymaths.social embarassingly, I always get confused of my own country code
"is it UK, or is it GB... isn't UK Ukraine? no, that's UA, so I must be UK oh but no I'm not I'm GB, unless we're talking about keyboard layouts when it's UK, and the TLD is .uk. oh my this is such a mess" - my brain

UK (country code) is united kingdom, but uk (language code) is ukrainian.

the locale for british english, however, is en-GB, not en-UK
