Wtf are they retarded?

Estados Unidos

Shouldn't "Estados Unidos" be "EU" or "EUA" if they want to distinguish it from the European Union? Where do the extra letters come from?
>>
Yes, we are retarded

Unia Statos Aeropanos

>where do the extra letters come from
I think it's to clarify that it's plural
>>
>>60531816
European Union is UE (Union Europea)
>>
>>60531851
Yes. Plural words double the letters. If plura 2 times you make it 4 like in "1 bus" = "bb" "2 buss" = "bbbb". ¡Spanish !is$ amazing!
>>
>>60532004
The explanation that was give to me was that you doubled the letters on acronyms to clarify that they're plural

Eat shit

Yep.

United Nations = Naciones Unidas = NNUU
>>
>>60531816
The extra E and U come from the fact that both Estados and Unidos are plural.
>>
>>60532270
Rather ONU, I have never heard NNUU regarding United Nations.
>>
>>60532078
That is the reason indeed.
>>
>>60532078
You are right. I am mocking that spanish does this. Totally unnecessary.
