• The historical province of Ulster included present-day Northern Ireland as well as parts of the Republic of Ireland. Using Ulster to refer only to Northern Ireland is often proscribed.^[1] This is in part because this usage is imprecise. More importantly, this usage is typical of a partisan, unionist parlance and is therefore avoided for neutrality. However, the name survives, as illustrated by BBC Radio Ulster.
• The word is also used in the attributive form relating to, or originating from Ulster, e.g. an Ulster fry.
