You're not reading sarcasm into Dee Dee's post. She *knows* it's
China.

That one makes sense, but someone please tell me why EEUU is
the United States.

S.

EEUU = Estados Unidos. Spanish for the United States. They double
the letters because "estados" (states) EE - is plural - and the
"unidos" (united) part - UU - is a plural adjective that describes the
plural states. Hence EEUU.

The explanation must be that in the Spanish language, they have words for
"United States" as they have words for 'Spain.'

EEUU are the letters/abbreviations in the Spanish language for their
abbreviation of the 'United States.' and the double letters used as
described above.

Absolutely PU. Double PU, written either as PUPU or PPUU; take your
choice.
You got it!
