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)

Third person.

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

Both, but I voted for first person.

I do the same thing for sports teams.   We won the World Series.  We won the NBA Finals.  We  had all of our teams make the playoffs for their respective sports.

Usually first person.

OUR

I say us, we.
I'm proud to be American especially here in this Latino neighborhood where, for some strange reason, everyone likes Mexico better than the USA.
I fucking hate Mexico.

I don't know.



I'll say like "The US is" and "The United States are".

But I'll also say "We'll do..." or "We did..."

don't let's

I don't usually use "us" and "we" when talking about things unless it's specifically taking about stuff that I have done.

I mostly just use it in third. Does that make me less patriotic?
