@myrandomnesslife replied to your post “it annoys the hell out of me when people refer to the u.s. as america....”
us is only considered for north america
cos us has around 50 states in it that is encompassing it
and i'm a us citizen so the way i look at it if i wanted to go to somewhere in south america, i'd have to get a passport because south america isn-t part of north america
yeah no i know, but that still doesn’t answer my question :/
why is the u.s. the only country in actual america allowed to be called america and their citizens americans? and as far as north america goes it consists of 3 countries so in that case why aren’t canadians and mexicans also allowed to be called americans since canada and mexico are 2 of the other north american countries? do you see what i’m trying to say?
