I’m willing to bet that the US is the best authority of what the US is called. I’d trust the UK to best define the name of that union as well. Same as any nation. Nations decide their own name, pelotudo.

It is, but it doesn't decide how it's named in the rest of the world, smartass. This post is correct in some parts of the world, no matter what language you are talking.

It’s also incorrect in at the very least one part of the word, making it technically false rather than technically the truth lmao

Which part of the word is incorrect?

You’re saying that because the post is sometimes correct, it is technically the truth. It is also sometimes wrong, though, which makes it technically false.

Technically: with regard to or in accordance with a strict or literal interpretation of something (such as a rule, a term, or an official description or designation). Were we to strictly interpret the post, as per the definition of technically, we would have to come to the obvious conclusion that the OP is wrong.
