I know this is a shitpost, but I need to say it anyways: The USA is not "America". America is everything west of Europe and east of Asia. All the Americas: north, central, and south.
The name may be really stupid, but America is the name used to reference the United States and is recognized by hundreds of millions if not billions of people. North America: continent. South America: continent. The Americas: 2 continents. America: 1 country. Just because it's dumb doesn't make it not true.
America is the name used to reference the United States
USians are arrogant as fuck. America is a continent. Country is called United States of America.
Coincidently, USians asked where they are from never say "USA" or even "America" for this matter. They say name of their state or even worse, two letters like everyone around should know where every shithole in the US is.
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Which word gave you trouble?
The United States of Mexico would like a word.
We're considering changing it to simply Mexico. It's been talked about.
Until you guys do, it seems fucked up for the USA to just take US. German uses US-Amerikaner, which is at least clear.
Wait that didn't go through yet? I thought that name change went through years ago
Iโm not from the USA but itโs not that deep. Their country will cease to exist soon enough so why get worked up about it.
Some of them were definitely butt hurt about my comment! ๐
Which continent is America? I only know of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
That's what they teach you in the USA, eh?
Five continents We have been taught in school (way back in the '60s in Europe) that there are five continents, Africa, America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, for instance symbolized in the five rings of the Olympic Games.
Six continents However, there is no standard definition for the number of continents. In Europe, many students are taught about six continents, in which North and South America is combined to form a single America. These six continents are Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, and Europe.
Ahh, you haven't learned anything since the 60's. Your idiotic ramblings are starting to make sense..
Can you actually read?
Sounds like Eurasians can be just as ignorant as USains.
Do you expect British people to tell you that they're from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and get cross when they don't as well?
Ignorance this ignorance that.
Language evolves. The words we used to refer to locations don't exactly match what they did 250 fucking years ago, boohoo.
Definitions come from how people use words, not the other way around.
Definitions come from how people use words, not the other way around.
That's how Trump can get away with his lies in the USA. ๐
Despite of what brainwashed USians may think, words do not create a reality.
Person who lives in the USA is as much of an American as a person from Brazil, Mexico or Canada. The same as European means a person living in Europe, not necessarily in the European Union.
It's the only country that has "America" in the name so it's not really that dumb.
Well... Ackchuyually, it's not "China", it's "People's Republic of China"
"China" can refer to various terriorial claims made by various Chiness dynasties/governments throught history, and doesn't precisely describe the location or period of time. Whereas "People's Republic of China" is the accurate term to describe the current geo-political situation of the country.

(ya know what, every time a westerner mentions "China" I'm gonna say that just for the lols)
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as China, is in fact, the People's Republic of China, or as I've recently taken to calling it, PRC.
Iโd like to welcome Morroco, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Ghana, Nigeria, and a bunch of others to America.
