Do you refer to the US in third or first person?

When you refer to the United States, do you use words such as "us" and "we", or do you just say the US, or America?

Third person (US)
First person (us, we)

I say USA because I'm Canadian.  caterpie;

I sometimes use Canada in first person

It depends the situation. If it's something good,  I'll use first person. It's it's something annoying like not converting to the metric system, I'll use third person. But most of the time, it's whatever I feel like saying at that moment.

It's not usually a good thing to imply that I'm an American.


Blasphemy! You don't have a Team America shirt?

Also, I use "the U.S." most of the time, sometimes "we".

No, i don't. And if I did, I wouldn't wear it nowadays. It's not good to be American with Bush in the white house.

You're idiotic, America is not represented by one person, no matter which fool is in office. This country and it's people mean so much more.

If Bush was elected twice, it shows how stupid the people are. And if McCain somehow wins in November, it just reinforces that statement.

You're not supposed to change presidents during a war, and Bush was elected the first time because of his bullshit.

I use third person. Using "us" and "we" sounds weird to me.

Depends on the situation. Usualy I'll just say "America", but I know there have been situations where I've used the first person.
