You're both right and wrong. Regarding legal status, it's British citizen. However, citizen isn't exclusively a legal term and has a total of 10 definitions (OED). in the more general sense (and, in fact, the primary one), one can be an English citizen, a citizen of London, a citizen of New York, and so on. I always look on myself as a citizen of the world, although legally I'm both a British and a Canadian citizen. Bill Potts, CMS Roseville, CA http://metric1.org [SI Navigator]
