toadfrog	BS: US or USA ? (30)	RE: BS: US or USA ?	22 Oct 03
Wolfgang has it right. I had never thought of it that way before. US is an attributive adjective, USA a noun. And "US of A" is normally jocular, and not much used, as far as I'm aware. What sounds correct to me, as a US denizen, is "United States." And it's actually easier to say than "USA."
