"United States of America" in Spanish is "Estados Unidos de America". So it should be that EUA = USA, and EU = US. But most spanish-speakers will use EEUU. This is because they are refering to plural nouns. So the spanish abbreviation for Fuerzas Armadas (Armed Forces) is FFAA.\n\nThis also happens sometimes in English. The abbreviation for page is "p.", but for pages it's "pp.".

a country? No. it sounds like a PC Game\n\n{edit} sudonym x is not wholly correct, it is, indeed the international distress signal, but it does not 'stand' for anything, it is just that \n... ---... is simply an easy, recognisable signal to send and recieve

It depends on what country you specifically are looking for.  Try country abbreviations.  That should work.

According to common knowledge are a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y as in sky, fly, cry, etc.  (when it makes the i. sound)\n"A letter, such as a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y in the English alphabet, that represents a vowel."\n\nhowever... there are a couple of rare, rare instances: "Cwm and crwth do not contain the letters a, e, i, o, u, or y, the usual vowels (that is, the usual symbols that stand for vowel sounds) in English. But in those words the letter w simply serves instead, standing for the same sound that "oo" stands for in the words boom and booth."

Try this...\n\nGo to "View" (up above), "encoding" and click on auto if it's not on. If it is, then go to "more" and then go through all that are there (unless you know which one it is).\n\nSounds like the e-mail you got was written with different characters (like if it's from overseas). So this solution should help

There are in fact several English words containing -uu-, all of Latin origin. The most common are vacuum and continuum; the less common ones are menstruum, residuum, triduum, and the distinctly rare duumvir and duumvirate.

"Couch," like a sofa?  It's "el sofa".  Pronounced so-FAH.   (Should have an accent on the "a".)

It's "a universal".\n\nThe choice of whether to use "a" or "an" depends on whether the following word begins with a vowel sound or a consonant sound.  "Universal", even though it begins with the letter "u", begins with a consonant sound (yuh), so the appropriate choice is "a".

what ? \n\nyou mean why is it 2U(doube u) instead of 2V(double V) ?\n\nWell, because DoubleU goes back to the time when they wrote everything in cursive. And when you write a W in cursive, it doesn't look anything like 2 V's

I have plenty of students from Mexico who don't even know how to place an accent.  Llebas instead of llevas, aser instead of hacer, no upside down question marks, or exclamation marks, oh, and my favorite one:  Voy a copear la información instead of copiar.  If you look at the word copear in the Real Academia de la Lengua Española, you will see that the word copear in Mexico means:  To have drinks.  What I tell my students is that it doesn't matter where you are from, you must know your language, and part of learning it in their cases will not be by watching the telenovelas or the Spanish language channels!  Reading will be the antidote for this poison called ignorance, regardless of the race or creed.
