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.

America es el nombre que se le puso al nuevo continente. Todo lo demas es derivado del mismo significado del nombre. Si los Estados Unidos quiere llamarse America, eso es porque la nacion esta ubicada en America el continente. Otra razon, no la hay. El que quiera ponerse una benda en sus ojos, que lo haga, pero eso no hace que cambien las cosas como son.
