    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

      I think the official English version is actually United Mexican States.

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

      This is actually really cool because I am connecting with my teen son over One Piece (live action), and I can throw this fact out at him. Thank you, it will be a wholesome mother-son moment.

        Parents taking an interest in their kid’s interests and One Piece are two things that make this world a better place!

          I love the show, it’s so great. My son and I grew apart a bit when I was in grad school, but we’re making up lost ground. Parents should always make a big effort to be involved with their kids, and I wish I did more 2 years ago, but I’m doing my best now.
