      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.

      Because of our American exceptionalism we forgot we were a part OF the americas. So now we are THE USA. Hope that helps.
