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.

Juansays...

David, what do you think about the plandemic? As a United Statian, don't you feel guilty?

David(United States)says...

I will never forget some of your classic posts. I think my favorite is: “America is not a word.” Unbelievable. Thanks for the laughs. That’s your job after all, payasa.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

David When you left this place it was peaceful and yet you are back only to bring discord and insults. Stop the bullying and behave like an adult. Discuss the issue at hand.

David(United States)says...

Spain??

David(United States)says...

What rule of naming is being broken by calling the USA ‘America’? Mrs. Anonymous, you have been posting here for years, but you have never posted a link to a legitimate rule of naming that says it is incorrect to call the USA ‘America’. There’s a simple reason for this. No such rule exists. No rule of naming is being broken by calling the country ‘America’. Stop whining and BSing, payasa.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

is called "honor". But you well know that the name is not an official name otherwise everything in the government would be called "America". United States Post Office, United States President, United States Congress, United States Army, United States Passport, United States Citizenship, U.S. Dollar, etc etc.

Juansays...

David, is there any rule for not killing people in the Middle East? but you do it, right?

Would you imagine calling Andrea "David"? it does not make sense, right?

There are obvious things your government does not need to teach you. You're not a puppet.

Loco(Argentina)says...

If you think about it, they also appropriated the word "States", because all countries have states! they got the most generic name in the world!

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

yes the U.S. didn't really think of a good country name but of a nation which had in its mind to spread all over the continent and thus the name United States of America would had then meant something bigger, like all states in America would had been united. Their expansion didn't happen all the way but it did by the way to the West and all of the rest of the lands that has annexed ever since its inception.

Setsuko(United States)says...

"All countries have states" provinces: Am I a joke to you?

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

Just because the country uses the name of the continent in its name does not necessarily mean that is the name of the country.

David(United States)says...

But ‘America’ is an unofficial name of the USA. You know it is. Stop whining and lying, payasa.

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

Look who's back with his childish name calling! It is not a country it is the name given to a continent!

Mrs. Anonymoussays...

The United States uses the name America in its long form due to the fact that these States were formed and unified in the continent of America. You know the same America that the British crown had other lands and dominions in America not the U.S. but the continent's things you can read in the Treaty of Paris.

Andreasays...

David/Morgan then Isabel and now Setsuko, even if you use the most obscure words, everyone will not that it is you David/Morgan/Isabel/Setsuko.

Shut up already.

Andreasays...

BE AWARE: "Isabel" is Morgan/ David new alias.

Setsuko(United States)says...

David is a masculine name and Isabel is a feminine name, so they cannot be the same person. unless one of the following

1) she's trans and "David"is her deadname

2) they're genderfluid

3) they're disguised as a girl for a spy mission or similar.

Andreasays...

David/Morgan then Isabel and now Setsuko, even if you use the most obscure words, everyone will not that it is you David/Morgan/Isabel/Setsuko.

Shut up already.

Alfonso(Nicaragua)says...

Andrea Morgan, David's relative or the same person?

...frustrated United Statians.

Get over it. You cannot change your past. Your ancestors decided to come to America. You are welcome here anyway.

Alfonso(Nicaragua)says...

Sorry, Isabel Morgan I meant.
