Well, I'm not a native English speaker and therefore I can't give my direct opinion on that, but miscalling America to the USA is a widely recognised mistake in Spanish, yes or yes, there's no discussion on that. And I think it's a bad habit also for English speakers, a mistake that is so common that's not regarded as a mistake anymore.
