See meta.politics.stackexchange.com/q/35/78 for the question of USA. Otherwise, vote for the other two. Dec 5, 2012 at 23:37
temporal-vacancy to temporary-vacancy
...which is what I assume the author meant -- although I'm not sure that this deserves a tag at all.

I'd say the other way around as united states is still an abbreviation but USA is more specific and is a full abbreviation.– UKBDec 5, 2012 at 23:32

I know that Great Britain and the United Kingdom are technically not the same thing, but they're used interchangeably in practice.

They're technically different, but [uk] is probably the better tag in practice. Looking through the questions currently tagged [britain], most of them seem to be about the UK as a whole.– TRiGFeb 3, 2014 at 19:05
commonwealth -> commonwealth-of-nations
british-commonwealth -> commonwealth-of-nations

4commonwealth can easily be a tag on its own. There are many of them out there, even in the US. It is a style of community and governance. Dec 6, 2012 at 22:06

2"commonwealth" and "british-commonwealth" are distinct, as @KevinPeno says - and "british-commonwealth" is the more common name for that institution.– user97Dec 7, 2012 at 0:15

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations - 'The Commonwealth of Nations, normally referred to as the Commonwealth and formerly known as the British Commonwealth, is an intergovernmental organisation of 54 independent member states.' It is bigger than the EU, it is just like saying US is interchangeable. United States could refer to some nations who decided to work together (They are then united states) or the united Mexican states.– UKBDec 7, 2012 at 16:01

the Commonwealth is still different than the concept of a commonwealth nation. I agree with your other merge though. Dec 7, 2012 at 21:41
I suggested election <- electoral and polling <- opinion-polling. Feel free to vote them up to approval.
