Ya, and Europe is not a continent. What a super intelligent position to take.

There is no “America” by your definition. There are 800 million people in “the Americas”. Half of them refer to their county as simply “America”. Like 500 times a day. At least 100 million of the rest also use this label for the USA as does a big chunk of the world. When Churchill said, “You can always count of the Americans to do the right thing but too late”, was he talking about Chile or Canada?

I would say the “United States” but then some moron will point out that this could mean the United States of Mexico as if just saying “United States” or “America” is confusing anybody. Does the US National Guard protect Mexico? Cuba or Belize? The US Marines?

Do you think “America, fuck ya” is something people from Kentucky say to celebrate Honduras? Do you think “America the beautiful” is a song about Peru? Do you think the “American National Anthem” is pro Mexico?

Do you think “American football” is what they play in Brazil? Because they sure don’t play it in Canada.

And the 7,000,000,000,000 YouTube videos about “the American President”, who elected him?

It is hard for me to believe that somebody thought this would seem like a smart thing to say.
