    Imagine spending your time being intentionally obtuse about the colloquial understanding of “America” and then calling other people “lame ass trolls.” C’mon man. Be better.

      Imagine having nothing better to do than argue about a definition that has 5-6 different ways to interpret it. Only MAGA and ther ilk have the inability to grasp that there are other countries that can be labeled “American”.

        Hi Wilco, the others went traight to sarcasm, which is not a good way to communicate. The point they failed to make was that the continent the USA, Mexico and Canada are located on is officially called “North America”, not just “America”. And people usually don’t even use “America” for the combination of North, South and Central one. The USA is offcially called the USA, so there appears to be nothing called just America officially. I would argue that people do use America in common speach - but then the use differ locally. In my European country we use it to mean the US. If we want to talk about the continent, we can also use it, but we need to specify we’re talking about the continent and which part, otherwise it gets confusing.

        there are other countries that can be labeled “American”.

        Name one, and then go out and ask random strangers as a control group what they think.

        North America vs “America”. I know it’s a struggle, but if you keep practicing and repeating it, it might make it past that neutronium-plated skull of yours.
