USA is not America

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?

America

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.

Rorysays...

Ahhhhh! Poor Yankeestan has been mistreated again by a world organization, just like back in 2003 by those UN weapons inspectors in Iraq.

Time to kick some ***** right?

Pay for your own World Health Organization world! USA! USA!

Rorysays...

The most cheated country on earth now has the right to invade your privacy, invade your country, flood every online discussion forum with hate speech, and most importantly, close its borders to everyone and everything.

An international organization has wronged the USA again! Let’s all get on our hands and knees, and kiss Uncle Sam’s ***** again!

Paulsays...

The Pan-American Road was going through America, that's how I knew it was in America.

Where el is that Pan-American Road?

Nowhere else other than America, thus.

Why are people still stupid?

It is a natural thing of humans being.

They are all stupid.

fake Mrs Anonymoussays...

that road was going through America.

Who cares that you understand otherwise?

It is still going through America, the only America that everybody knows.

If that road didn't go through America, then it is not in America.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

Throughout the whole continent of America!

Paulsays...

Throughout America, what part of your brain makes you think otherwise?.

You are stupid

Rorysays...

Puhleeeez! The USA is neither America, nor is it the leader of America!

The President couldn’t even get through a speech about his isolationist policy towards the WHO this morning without attacking the WTO!

Did he have his NORTH AMERICAN trade partners in mind when he attacked them?

The rest of the hemisphere should start calling the USA the Socialist Republic of Yankeestan.

Rorysays...

Yanks have been ranting and raving online for two decades now about their desires to close their borders and build a wall around their country.

They don’t wanna be part of this hemisphere.

We should start calling them the Exceptional States of Yankeestan since they think they’re the “most cheated country in history!”

The simple problem- you stupidsays...

Anytime someone says America, unfortunately, there's just one America.

That you understand otherwise is your stupid problem.

But, you remain stupid.

Paulsays...

they don't care that you are confused about America.

They know that they are America and that's why they are Americans.

Rorysays...

Did you even read what I wrote?

I said WE, meaning the rest of the hemisphere, should start calling them the Exceptional States of Yankeestan!

Why don’t you go praise Trump on Twitter or something. My messages here were addressed to non-yanks.

Apollo in the 1960ssays...

America went to the moon in the 1960s.

Who went to the moon?, Yes, America did.

Mexico(Mexico)says...

as of today, Mexico will not pay for that border wall in America, or with America, for America, thus.

Paulsays...

Some people came to the new world, the greatest western hemisphere that was named America.

They became Americans and that wall that you are not paying for would be "The Greatest Wall Of America"

It is maybe too american for you.

Rorysays...

Good. Why don’t you relocate your country there, and let the rest of the hemisphere have its name back?

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

Nope the United States was the one!

Stupid Questionsays...

If someone asks: "-where is America?", where would you point at in a map?

If you were smart enough you would point at "The United States Of America" which is the only country bearing that name.

Your choice would probably be somewhere else but America, that's because you are encased stupid yourself with other Americas.

This is too American for you.

You are still stupid.

United States Is Americasays...

I just changed the preposition for you to understand that its name matters.

I hope you like it better this way.

United States Is America!

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

This is how people think and talk after years of conditioning since they can't see beyond the point where the United States started with this nonsense of calling itself the name of the continent. It is also the fault of the indoctrination of public schools in the United States, where politicians dictate what to teach and what not to teach. America was chosen to be the name of the new world, the one continent not the country. The country somehow, started using it but it is incorrect.

South Africa(South Africa)says...

fellow Americans, do not mind stupid people.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

David said: "Thanks, Mrs. Obvious. And the other meanings you don’t like continue their existence. Your pathetic denials don’t change reality."

There are no other meanings because the word/name was to name a continent. America was coined to signify a new world not a country. The country uses it for the same meaning that was coined for, that is a continent. You are the one denying this very fact.

You can't deny that North of America and South of America even Central America are all in America! Not a country but the continent.

South Africa(South Africa)says...

You are so stupid.

Paulsays...

Are you trying to say that their name should not be a composed name?, why do you remain so stupid?.

Their name is just another name that could be shortened however I wished to.

Do you even know about compositions?

If you knew better your brain would have a better understanding.

If I say "America", assume it is America, nothing else. Where else is America anyways?

The United States Of America

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

David said: "Thanks, Mrs. Obvious. Of course the name came from the continent. I have never argued any differently."

So if you say so, what is the name of the continent again?

AmericanFromTheAmericassays...

Well something that bothers me about this, is the fact that there are multiple synonym words to "avoid" confusions even though it's all basically the same... But with a minimum confusing variation.

Let's say for example England, that is in the United kingdom, in Europe. And now let's compare it to the United States of America that is in North America which is in The Americas... It's even worse with demonyms. "I'm an American from North America in the Americas"

So it's funny that "America" is only a part of North America

It was in The Asias toosays...

And it was in The Africas too.

You are stupid.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

At least the Africans got it right, South Africa is in Africa. Not like the USA which calls itself America but being in North of America??? It's like thinking backwards. Can we put America in North of America? only if America was bigger than North of America, which it is! The continent is bigger than North of America, thus America, then North America, then the USA.

Let it be stupidsays...

America needs no north or south.

Chances are that if you put your finger in a map to list where America is, you most likely point out anywhere in America.

"Anywhere" in this case could be "The United States Of America", which (for Lord Jesus) is actually America.

God bless you

The Europessays...

Ha, how stupid that sounds.

That's because you are stupid hahahaha

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

Have any of you heard of the "Pan-American Highway" or in Spanish La carretera Pan-Americana? Its a highway that crosses most if not all of the countries in America. Hence Pan-American. pan-

a combining form meaning “all,” occurring originally in loanwords from Greek American: from America. So: Pan-American is All American Highway. Not Pan Americas, not Las Pan Americas Highway, no, but Pan American Highway or in Spanish, Carretera Panamericana.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

Pan= All

American= from America

thus,

PanAmerican or All from America..or..all of America.

A continental highway in America.

Not in the USA but in America

Davidsays...

Thanks, Mrs. Obvious. And the other meanings you don’t like continue their existence. Your pathetic denials don’t change reality.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

There is no other meaning to the once coined named of America! If you want to refer to the nickname that the U.S. wants to go by, for example, America, that name means the continent of America, no matter how you put it, how you want to explain that words change meanings, your insistence on that will not make the name America change the meaning which was given when first coined/made originated to mean a continent. So, the United States of America, means those States which united to become a nation in America, so the name is actually using the continent's name and my friend, that is the true meaning of the word America even when used by the U.S. in its country's name.

You know that alreadysays...

if you know that they use it in its country name, why are you so pathetic about?

You are still stupid.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

Are you denying the fact that there is a Pan American Highway that goes all over America the continent?

you are still Stupidsays...

Hey Mrs. stupid, when you mentions America, I already understood enough for you to tell me "the continent".

If there is already a highway going across America, that highway would make me think about the only America that I know.

Remember, there are not 2 America, just one. For you to say "of the continent" reveals how bad and poorly is your thinking.

Maybe because English is not your native language could be an excuse but not really.

You are just stupid.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

People in the United States have been conditioned to parroting what they are saying right on this forum. They can't comprehend that there is more history than the one they have been told by their masters before the U.S. became a nation but somehow their brains are not ready to take that much load. They go crazy with questions like, "Where did the U.S. get the name "Of America" from? Since they are deniers of a continent named America, they are lost in confusion land..lol
