There is a graph showing the transition to U.S singular from U.S. plural. A clever analysis of ngram data. The balance shifted at ~1880.

If you are talking to me.

I am not George. You know who George Floyd was and you do disrespect to him even comparing me to him I am white, he was black and killed by Police. Don't you understand what is going on in the world around you?

Several hundred thousand people died over whether once formed, it (the U.S) was singular or plural wrt enslavement. Would that they had only yelled.

I'm sorry. I'm American and I have no idea what this means.

Most things British I can assimilate through context, but this one has eluded me.
