Brazil.

One random fact? Most Brazilians hate how americans write the country's name (cause in portuguese it's Brasil). Don't do that if you come for the Olympic games.

To me, it´s just nonsense that some Brazilians fell ofended by that. "Brasil" in English in "Brazil", as much as "United States" in Portuguese is "Estados Unidos"

I wonder if  Germans would feel ofended if we call their country "Alemanha", or the French if we call their contry "França", or even Americans, with "Estados Unidos"

But, on a note, we should say those names according to the language we´re speaking, or the location we are.
