Grammar
Southern, south of, south
Is there A RULE to tell you which is correct? Southern Ireland, the South of Ireland, or South Ireland? What is meant by each if they exist?
Top answer
I think that southern Ireland and the South of Ireland are more correct. South Ireland would be a country if it existed. Note that some countries have northern/southern (Northern Ireland) and some have north/south in their names (South/North Korea).

Sorry, that post above is kind of confusing. I guess they all mean the same except when a country (continent) has 'south' as the prefix in its name.
