IMDb staff: A couple keyword items to resolve (keywords "us," "animals," "pets")

Dear IMDb staff (@Michelle and @Bethanny):

I have a couple keyword items that should be resolved.

1. First, the keyword "us" should be blocked from the system given its inherent vagueness.

us (14 titles)

I just finished "auditing" the "us" keyword. Of the 14 instances of that keyword, 11 were intended to be "united-states" (which is supposed to be merged into "united-states-of-america"--that proposed merger has been pending for almost 5 months now), 2 were intended to be "us" as in "you and I," and I couldn't figure out what was intended for the final remaining title.

Can you please block the "us" keyword?

2. Second, I have just discovered that for this list from a year ago, the following auto-conversions were not set up, and as a result the keywords were recreated and are being reused. 

animals (36 titles)  -->  animal (2559 titles)

pets (70 titles)  -->  pet (662 titles)

Can you please re-merge those keywords and set them up for auto-conversion? Thank you.
