使用する際の注意点

With the exception of newspaper headlines, UK will almost always be preceded by the definite article in British English, e.g. "I am in the UK". In Indian English, the definite article is often dropped, e.g. "I am in UK", "Come to UK", "We go UK". The absence of the definite article can sometimes act as a shibboleth in written English.
