Hi Sandeep - a warm welcome and enjoy your stay.

Yo Plenty of Britishers here.

"Yo"... What a fine word to represent the UK (yes, sarcasm was noted)

[BLiZZaRD]

Is "Britishers" a correct term as well?

I know.. dumb Americans.. we make everything too simple.

Heh, no. We're "the British" or "Britons".

Britisher

n : a native or inhabitant of Great Britain [syn: Briton, Brit]

Britisher \Brit"ish*er\, n.

An Englishman; a subject or inhabitant of Great Britain, esp.
one in the British military or naval service. [Now used
jocosely]
[1913 Webster]

I think that commonly-seen form may be Germanic, from "Amerikaner," "Engländer," &c.

An archaic form, perhaps. We are die Briten (der Brite, die Britin).

It sounds very much like a non-word to me, the first that I've ever heard of it (not that either means much at all). A look at an older dictionary I have (rarely used because it's falling apart somewhat) describes it as a US term, not a British one.

The OED has it as "especially in North America," suggesting that it's now a British word too, but makes no reference to its origin.

The dictionary I referred to is an Oxford Concise, printed some thirty years ago. Chambers also classifies it as US.
