I started saying “US of A” out loud because of internet memeing and one time it slipped during a (non-English) language class. I genuinely didn’t clock why people were laughing. I didn’t register I said that instead of the proper way.
I meant to write “US and A” like the above comment pointed out 😄 But either way, if inserted out loud while speaking a non-English language, it’s weird. Especially if people you talk to aren’t chronically online, lol. Imagine speaking German and then unironically saying “US and A” in English.
Saw a student once using the term “Port of Guesses” unironically in a final submission.
Like, how do you fuck up that badly that you don’t notice that? I mean obviously it was just laziness, but still.
So now I’ve got a minecraft village named the Port of Guesses in honor of that nonsense lol
Almost as bad as that report for “Youth in Asia”
Or that neurodegenerative disease the elderly get, “old timers”
“They tell us how to run our lives, we run for youth in Asia!”

“Yeah, they gave it to some kid in china or something”
What does it correspond to?
Euthanasia
For the longest time as a kid I really wanted to know why my church cared so much about Asian kids.

US AND A
VERY NICE
Genuinely - as a non-American - what’s wrong with saying “US of A”?

Nothing. I’ve heard it used occasionally for decades.
Because of our American exceptionalism we forgot we were a part OF the americas. So now we are THE USA. Hope that helps.
