How do you say it

[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.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

I usually say, "those guys with the slingshot across the river that still haven't payed for that window they broke last week", or US...

...bastards...

It's been a month and they still haven't payed up...

...bastards...

 

[Artina89]

I tend to say the US, or "the states" when I am talking and typing. I might occasionally say America, but one of my roommates will instantly mention Argentina, Mexico and all that as he has travelled there and yet never been to the states. So I say the states or the US to avoid confusion.

 

[Sun Flash]

The US, if only to distinguish it from Canada and Mexico, as well as the whole of South America. Mainly because I get fed up of people only thinking Britain = England. I have been told before that I am Scottish and therefore not British. Basically, I get pissy over little things.

 

[Seagoon]

I don't want to be racist but sometimes we call it yankeeland. No but if you say america people guess you mean usa... Yankee land

 

[YouBecame]

I either call it America or the US.

Or our friends across the pond

 

[retrofish18]

I pronounce it AMERICA!!!!

 

[burningdragoon]

All of the above pretty much. Don't really say "the states" very much though.

 

[seventy two]

I refer to it as The US most of the time, though depending on the tone of the discussion I may say us instead.

 

[Dango]

It varies, although I don't say "USA" very oten for some reason, probably even less than I say "The US of A".
