If you are using Eclipse, please look at the toolbar buttons of the Lint warnings view. One of them is called "Ignore in file". This should help, but only if Lint assigns the error to your "US" file. That button simply modifies the lint.xml file in your project, so you can investigate (and undo) that easily.
