“Attaching the A has brought much confusion as to the extension of the Nation.”

OK, I will settle for USS.
I did not, however, see anything wrong with the previous United States of America.
It IS still part of North America, but no longer resembles
the country that I grew up in.
I probably was not as clear as I should have been. I do not object even at this time to calling my Country the United States OF America as this is geographically accurate. I do with negative feelings these days hesitate to calling the USA just simply America for the reason given. It makes my heart very sad and conflicted when as a veteran of WWII and with an only brother killed on Okinawa in WWII to refer to the USA as America for the reasons given. ‘America the Beautiful’ has been compromised by all those other people of the other Americas countries who have only hatred and disdain for the USA.
