– "[The] Embassy of the United Kingdom, Pyongyang" as a name is clearly American English; and it would have only been correct English (in Britain) to speak of a "British Embassy, Pyongyang" if the late HM had had established an Embassy in Pyongyang before the start of the Second World War...in the same way that the British Forces stationed in then West Germany and now in Germany (GFR/FRG/BRD) are called "British Forces Germany", not "British Forces, Germany"! There is really no particularly valid reason to somehow insist upon that (what is effectively) American English (and incorrect English in the United Kingdom) be used even for the names of British high commissions, deputy high commissions, embassies, consulates-general and consulates and other British consular posts, but not say e.g. the names of units (however constituted) of the three primary branches of the British Armed Forces. (And, I think, here in the UK, if you insist (and persist) upon putting in a comma like that, and you are not actually from the U.S. or Canada, people might think that you might have some bizarre speech impediment like bloody King George VI, or you might be just a bit "of the Spectrum" (an autistic, with Aspergers)!) 87.102.116.36 (talk) 07:37, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
