    When there’s another nation called the “United States of [something]” then we can talk about “the US” being difficult and aloof terminology.

    I named two examples, a country and a state. But I’ll leave you to pick and choose and be super smart and progressive.

      You mean the “United Mexican States” and the “Matsya States Union”?

      Yeah, that’s a stretch. Neither of those are ever abbreviated “US.” It’s not ambiguous.
