In both Brazil and the USA, USB connections are fundamental to modern technology use. In Brazilian Portuguese, 'conexão USB' is the standard technical term used in IT sectors, manuals, and everyday conversation. The term is gender-neutral in practice but grammatically feminine due to 'conexão'. Americans often simply say 'plug it in' or 'connect via USB' informally, while Brazilians tend to use the full term 'conexão USB' more formally and precisely.
