I started saying “US of A” out loud because of internet memeing and one time it slipped during a (non-English) language class. I genuinely didn’t clock why people were laughing. I didn’t register I said that instead of the proper way.

Genuinely - as a non-American - what’s wrong with saying “US of A”?

  Nothing. I’ve heard it used occasionally for decades.

  Because of our American exceptionalism we forgot we were a part OF the americas. So now we are THE USA. Hope that helps.
