Indeed, U.S.A. is not America!
America is the name of a whole continent. United States of America means that the United States belongs to America and NOT that America belongs to the United States. So, next time you want to refer to The United States of America, you can do it as U.S. or the States or whatever you want but not as only America. Gotcha?
How should I use the term America then?
Here we will show you some wrong and correct uses of the term America:
This is how we do it in America.
This is how we do it in the States.
- America is my country and I love it.
- The United States is my country and I love it.
- America lost the Vietnam war.
- U.S.A. lost the Vietnam war.
- Here in America we love Mc Donald's.
- Here in the U.S. we love Mc Donald's.
Please, note that this page in not about demonyms (gentilics) but about the way to call a country.

I hope this David guy is just a troll
You say I am stupid and ignorant, yet you cannot provide any evidence. You can’t take a quote of what I have written and prove that it is wrong. I have proved you clowns wrong many times. We need lots of eau de toilette to mask the stench of the mounds of BS that you clowns produce.
Ehhhh... what more evidence you want. You are just stubborn. It is more easy to learn the entirety of periodic table and a great amount of math formulas than making Usonians understand the truth. The bright side is that when tourist visit the rest of the countries that of the continent of America, we tend teach about the real continent of America. The rest of the countries are not more the shadow of US, we are rising and we are tired of this inferiority and division mindset.
Nice try, payaso. You have produced zero evidence. If I were so wrong and ignorant about so many things, you would be able to produce at least one example. STFU.
What evidence you want us to recall, the majority of your comments are not about giving arguments but instead is your insults and being narcissistic about how ascended intellectually and wise you are.
Davidoff, I love how the only job of your pseudonym is to say ‘eau de toilette’, yet you can’t even get that one thing right. Eau de toilette is a light form of perfume, dumbass. So you are actually saying that my comments smell very pleasantly indeed. You moron. You clowns get ABSOLUTELY NOTHING right. Payasos.
Mrs. Anonymous is definitely not somebody you want to share a brain with.
David, still has not answered how is it that he accepts that America is the name given to the continent, and how is it that the United States took the name of America and from where? He says he is the most intelligent individual here so he should know the answer and perhaps could enlightened us a bit.
STFU
Smelling strange again... eau de toilette
Sí, he visto que el muchachito Davi normalmente hace eso para que no lean hechos contundentes. La gente igualmente revisa las siguientes páginas.
Wow! Another pseudonym to add to Mrs. Anonymous’ fictional moral majority. Welcome aboard. Please shock me by actually providing links to facts. Thanks.
David did you just throw shade? Please slay! Let's spill some tea about us here in America

Hilarious! too much spam below definitely XD
You wish but I am not Carmen.
Everything you said in the past comments are wrong, you can´t see that?
Like what? Prove it.
“...they [the U.S.] could not go down to Mexico and they retrieved [sic].”
I see that you have missed me David. They did not take Mexico city! After treaty Guadalupe Hidalgo Mexico stayed Mexican and the advancement to the rest of the continent stopped there. The manifest destiny only made it to the west. The though of spreading throughout the entire continent of America was not realized and so they had to somehow explain why they were going to take the name of America somehow. My opinion has been that the U.S. then had the idea of separating America into two continents so that the name America was freed.
STFU
By that I meant that Mexico City stayed Mexican even though the United States had held it for a while. But in the end it returned to Mexico. So they did not take it as they did with Texas.
STFU
Typical
Learn your place.

Good to know that your upvote means you accept your place in the grand scheme of things. There might be hope for you yet.
Jajaja!
Huehuehue!
Total domination!
Still undefeated after all these years.
None of you clowns have ever proved me wrong. I destroy your “arguments” with the greatest of ease. You are intellectually inferior. Stop pretending. Stop embarrassing yourselves. Facts are facts.
My challenge still remains. Take a direct quote of ANYTHING I have ever written here and PROVE IT WRONG. PROVIDE LINKS TO THE PROOF.
YOU HAVE NEVER DONE THIS. YOU WILL NEVER DO THIS. YOU LOSE.
PROVE ME WRONG, PINCHES PAYASOS!!!
YOU CANNOT. YOU WILL NOT.
