I was thinking of the population of all of Europe, not just the EU. And I tend to use Europe and EU interchangeably. I probably shouldn’t do that.
Not your fault. Both are valid abbreviations for each other. Only E.U. would actually be concrete, but...
Saying the EU should be the European Union. Whereas just EU should signify Europe as you wouldnt say the Europe.
The context here made it obvious you meant Europe though, dont know how people missed that.
I think the EU is a beautiful thing, and sometimes I forget that not all of Europe agrees with me.
I assumed OP either did a typo or wasn't a native English speaker
I have not encountered anyone referring to geographical Europe as "EU" before, that would be confusing!
