The name may be really stupid, but America is the name used to reference the United States and is recognized by hundreds of millions if not billions of people. North America: continent. South America: continent. The Americas: 2 continents. America: 1 country. Just because it's dumb doesn't make it not true.
It's the only country that has "America" in the name so it's not really that dumb.
USians are arrogant as fuck. America is a continent. Country is called United States of America.
Coincidently, USians asked where they are from never say "USA" or even "America" for this matter. They say name of their state or even worse, two letters like everyone around should know where every shithole in the US is.
God you're insufferable
The United States of Mexico would like a word.
We're considering changing it to simply Mexico. It's been talked about.
Wait that didn't go through yet? I thought that name change went through years ago
Until you guys do, it seems fucked up for the USA to just take US. German uses US-Amerikaner, which is at least clear.
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Which word gave you trouble?
The people using the language don't give a shit if you're mad that U.S. arrogance is the reason the U.S. is referred to as America. Language is to be used to send a message, not dance around 16 topics hoping you can finally manage to vomit out whatever it is you're trying to say.
Guess what, I don't give a shit what you think either.
You gave enough of a shit to bitch and moan in the first place, so which is it? Do you recognize that your contribution to the topic is worthless, or do you think you're somehow above it all - a shining example of a human we should all strive to be like?
Fair warning, I am going to record myself laughing at you if you point to the second perspective. Like, GUHAHAHA fucking Ganondorf laughing.
Funnily enough, that must have been the first thing your parents thought when you were born.
It seems like you think you're funny.. ??
Crickets
I can really sense how little of a shit you give.
Which continent is America? I only know of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
Very clever. It's the land mass, just like Eurasia.

That's what they teach you in the USA, eh?
Ahh, you haven't learned anything since the 60's. Your idiotic ramblings are starting to make sense..
