    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.

        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.

      The people using the language don’t give a shit if you’re mad that U.S. arrogance is the reason the U.S. is referred to as America. Language is to be used to send a message, not dance around 16 topics hoping you can finally manage to vomit out whatever it is you’re trying to say.

          You gave enough of a shit to bitch and moan in the first place, so which is it? Do you recognize that your contribution to the topic is worthless, or do you think you’re somehow above it all - a shining example of a human we should all strive to be like?

          Fair warning, I am going to record myself laughing at you if you point to the second perspective. Like, GUHAHAHA fucking Ganondorf laughing.

            Funnily enough, that must have been the first thing your parents thought when you were born.

        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…
