Hold on now, but I just had a really good idea for a Hazbin Hotel Yule Log Video...

I'm now going to assume that as soon as Hegseth realises he is in legal trouble, he will attempt to throw someone in the chain of command under the bus. And Pentagon morale will drop through the floor, prompting even more leaks of misconduct.

It is a thing that creeps beneath the sea, it hates people, but can not stop consuming them.

Do you also insist on calling the UK by it's full name of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

That would be EUMain.

I think correct IPA transcription would be juisaɪn

But they're not Uians. Then they'd be Eweans, and that makes them sound like sheep.

But to get the pronounced U and S, you would need to have Uewesian, and no one is going to do that, so you'll get USian. Replacing a national exceptionalism with a case relevancy exception.

I'm a very native speaker, brought up in England and due to moving around speak in near received pronunciation. USian. Pronounced as ue'S'sian.

If that distinction was being sufficiently made, then people wouldn't have started using the phrase 'USain'.

Mainly because it would be reduced in common pronunciation to USians anyway.

You want the english language to follow conventions and not adopt words that don't fit it's previous vowel patterns? The english language? Our english language? The one that has the word 'Taxi' in it?

And if consensus decides that "Hey, maybe US residents don't have exceptional claim to the word 'America'" then that also happens. And complaining that US Residents should inherently have authority over the word America isn't going to stop people saying USian instead.
