      Usage notes

      Residents of the United States of America may refer to their country as the "United States" (more formal), "America" (common and often patriotic), "the U.S.A.", or simply "the States" (informal). Residents of Alaska, America's northernmost state, refer to mainland America as "the lower 48" (informal).


    Residents of the United Kingdom typically refer to the United States of America as "America". Residents of Canada less frequently refer to the United States of America as "America", referring otherwise to "the United States" (more formal), "the U.S." (common), or simply "the States" (informal).
    The plural form "the Americas" is common when referring to North and South America, to avoid ambiguity.

    Synonyms

    (United States of America) U.S.A., U.S.
