Someone else using the terminology, perhaps the first line of the Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas), or Collins (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/america)? "USAmerican" - like U.S.A but with American replacing the A. Variations expected. >America tends to have indicated a shortening of The United States of America // To people who assume that it's the only place in America that anyone would talk about. >Do you believe citizens of this country can't name themselves? // How many current citizens chose that name; I'll go with none. If you asked the question "what should we name our union of states, one of several unions of states in America" I'd hope most intelligent people would think something other than USA was best. I'm from the UK (which has a lot of stupid naming too, but that doesn't make USA a sensible name, bad naming elsewhere doesn't make this naming better). But for the purposes of this conversation that probably just counts as "not America" by which will be meant "not USA". /s /rant |
