I added so called in an act of - perhaps childish - opposition to mainstream usage just because I sometimes have the impression that people use these terms thoughtlessly. - There was something like a mania in Germany, when the GDR as a state had disappeared, to speak of "die ehemalige DDR" (the former GDR) when speaking of it, to obtusively underline that it has disappeared. However, nobody would say "the former emperor Napoleon". Perhaps my "so called" is just a form of retaliation for this annoying habit. | |

In school I learned that Germany long time was divided and then got unified and that long before that it already was unified. That there're larger differences in wealth and culture between two parts of a country dosn't seems that uncommon to me (compare e.g. north and south England, even south Germany (Bavaria, BW) and the rest is a good example). That "so called" really confuses me. | |
