How do you say it

[Leviathan_]

The colonies.

 

[neoontime]

I use them all. Seriously, I can't understand who would be confused in the first place.

 

[SkyeNeko]

the U.S., the United States if I'm being formal

 

[GLo Jones]

When younger I'd simply say America. But pretty much as soon as I learned about continents etc. I started calling it (to this day) "the US".

I'm English if that makes a difference.

 

[AvsJoe]

I refer to the country as "The States". Sometimes I say "The U.S.", but not often.

 

[Gralian]

America. Anything else feels too long-winded or out of place.

But then again, i say the UK when talking about my country, rather than England. Maybe Americans mainly say US or USA when referring to their country as well. Maybe it's a native thing.

 

[OneOfTheMichael's]

'That' country, is what me and friend say when we're talking about america online so people don't know that we're referring to america.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I always say the U.S. I don't really know why.

My captcha was 'twitimp cruentata'... That sounds like a pseudo-latin name for a Pikmin enemy

 

[Shade184]

I mostly say "U.S.", but it sometimes changes.

Or, if I'm pissed off, "those bloody Yanks".

 

[Thedayrecker]

United States, unless I'm in a hurry.

 

[gabe12301]

I just say America. Everyone assumes your talking about the U.S. not Canada or anywhere in South America.

 

[GodofCider]

America; or when I need to make the distinction: the U.S.

 

[Enigmers]

I say, alternately, America or the U.S.

 

[GenericAmerican]

Either the U.S. of A.

Or 'Merica

or Planet 'Merica

I don't say I'm an American though, that's the continent, I am a United States..ian...im still working that out.

 

[loc978]

Usually, I say "America" unconsciously... in the context of comparison with any other part of "the Americas" (from northern Canada/Greenland to southern Chile/Argentina) I say "the US"

 

[Grab-bag]

America.

 

[DarthFennec]

I say the States, normally. Kinda gets on my friends' nerves sometimes :/

 

[Zipa]

Yanksville.
