Brought to you today by the letter 'U'!
I noticed today that in the audience statistics there were four countries whose names started with the letter 'U'. Can you name four countries that start with the letter 'U'?
Did you know that there are more than you might think, because we often use an abbreviation of the full name of a country when referring to that country? For example, did you know that Mexico actually starts with a 'U' (in its English form)? That the USA has as one of its neighbours the USM? The United States of Mexico? (By the way, Mexico was not one of the four countries! Although, I'd love to have someone in Mexico read my blog, and maybe even leave a nice comment in Spanish!)
I believe that the letter 'U' is under-utilised. Too often it is neglected unless someone is deliberately using their creativity to uncover opportunities to urge it into prominence!
If you are one of the wonderful people reading this blog from a country beginning with the letter 'U', I would love to hear from you! What is something you enjoy about the country you are in? Is there anything about or from Australia that you would like to see in your country?
For those of you not from a country beginning with the letter 'U', is there a country which does start with that letter that you would like to visit or have visited or would like to live in? What draws you to that country?
As added incentive (perhaps) to comment on this blog, I would like to extend the offer for you to choose a topic for a future blog post! How does that sound?
I look forward to hearing from some of you!

Did the United Kingdom show up as one of those four countries - if it did, technically speaking it is not a country... which would leave (excluding USM); USA, UAE, Ukraine, and Uganda??
ReplyDeleteYes, the UK showed up as one of those countries - but if it is not technically a country, what is the technical name for it? I've been trying to figure out the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom for a while now. But a fantastic list of countries you compiled there! There are more than that in the world, but you have mentioned most of the ones which actually appeared! Thanks!
DeleteI have recently been informed that the correct official title of the country in question is the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
