Interesting. I would be interested in the "the US" vs "the USA" comment. Canadians would not likey use the term "in America" except in reference to North America or more specifically Canada and the US (we feel close to our brothers). We would refer to our southern brothers as "the US" or "the States" and never "America" for reasons above. Starngely enough "American" is frequently used. This has been discussed and posted in several WP articles.  It appears your reasoning waffles for one reason or another and a some emotion may be inflicted in your arguments on this. Whether you support any editing action is moot after a surprise appearance of a sniper revert. 99.251.114.120
