Wait til they got told Mexico is in America, they're gonna lose their shit.

Like the USA owns the continent, pffh.

The abbreviation for the US, due to what I think are dumb syntax rules in Spanish, is E.E.U.U.

For reals. I know, right?

But wait there's more! Mexicos official name is the United States of Mexico, or Estados Unidos de México in Spanglish.

And also in Spanish, I think

EEUU makes sense when there's also an EU.

In Spanish, plurality in abbreviations is denoted by doubling up the letters; so (United States) Estados Unidos -> EEUU
