How do you say it

[thylasos]

It depends entirely on the situation and whatever mood I'm in. I tend simply to say America or "the US", though.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

The United States, the U.S or occasionally "those guys with guns who live down south.".

We're not all to the South of you! What about Alaska?
'Sides, "those guys down south" makes it sound like we're all cannibalistic inbred hillbillies who live in a swamp.

That's not us, that's just Mississippi and Kansas.

Not Kansas. Arkansas. Get it right.

OT: I say United States and type U.S.

 

[Wintermoot]

America (outside the USA its the same difference) or VS (US translated to English)

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

America, but when I write it down I put down USA because I'm too lazy to write the extra letters.

 

[badgersprite]

The U.S., or The States, sometimes just America if I feel lazy, but of course I call it's citizens Americans. What else can I call them?

 

[Ladette]

I live in Eagle Land.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

America, or 'merka

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Zorthunk.

Because I like getting quizzical looks.

 

[Levitas1234]

Well being that i live in America, i never call The United states America because I live in Canada

...what? so you live in america And canada? Did your arm decide to leave your miserable body and have adventures of its own or something?

No, America is a giant land mass split into two continents, north america and south america. Canada is in north america.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

The US.

Mostly.

Depends on sentence length. Don't want them to run on too long, you see.

 

[The Afrodactyl]

Usually "America," but sometimes "The US" if I need to distinguish it from the rest of America. Sometimes "The Yanks."

This.

 

[PureChaos]

either America or U.S. 'them across the pond' on odd occasions

 

[Adam Galli]

I use them all. I think I tend to say "this or the country" the most.

 

[Daniel Laeben-Rosen]

Seeing as I'm not american it depends what language I'm speaking at the time.
If I'm speaking english I'll say either "The US" or "America". If I'm speaking something else I'll probably say "Usa" or, again, "america"

 

[Hobo Joe]

I always say either "America" or "The U.S."; rare for me to say any other.

 

[Yureina]

I tend to say America, or The US.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

"The U.S."

The people here are, of course, "Americans". But I don't call this country "America", and "USA" sounds too patriotic. I hate this fucking place, so I'm sure not patriotic.
