Its ok we will just call the game by its proper name, United States Open,
we will only use USO when we speak about it in short hand.

>>From a message by Silver Dragon about OT: Copy right an Acronym?:
>> Today Mac from Fen got a 15 page letter stating that USO is a copy
righted trademark of some other company. Understandable. Does anyone forsee
the same issue if I typed it correctly as an acronym?
>> like U.S.O? can people copy right acronyms? I mean there is a
U.S.O tennis tourny as well as golf.
