I started saying "US of A" out loud because of internet memeing and one time it slipped during a (non-English) language class. I genuinely didn't clock why people were laughing. I didn't register I said that instead of the proper way.

    Genuinely - as a non-American - what's wrong with saying "US of A"?

    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.
