minus-squarerockSlayer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down5·1 year agoThe name of the US is “United States of America”. Note the lack of the word “the”. Should we start referring to Puerto Rico as “the Puerto Rico” or to Guam as “the Guam” if the most used word in the English language denotes possession?
