What is this actually meant to mean?

USA isn't specifically "America".

 

If I want to call myself an American, who's going to stop me. :P

 

~SB~

You are. :P

 

Where's Hawaii? It's American too. :(

No, the US isn't all of America, but it's the only one with America in it's name.

 

So rather thany say "United Statesian" it's shortened too, "American."

I think most everyone knows this... but saying the United States of America gets tiresome, when you could just say Canada or South America for the other places... =/

He can do that cause he discovered it. :)

 

Now we need to rename the Americas. Hope Columbus wouldn't mind. Then again, it was never named after him in the first place. Some dude took his credit. The nerve. >:(

The guy who named America was actually Chinese, who was screaming "What the heck is that?" in Chinese and it sounded like "America". :P

That would explain quite a lot.

That's why in Spain we call "estadounidenses" ("unitedstatians") the inhabitants of the "EE.UU." (U.S.A. without the A.)

 

Well, when you're north of them, you can call them 'Those most peculiar people to the south did _____ today, eh?'

Columbus never set foot in the U.S. Just in Cuba.

Amerigo Vespucci was the one who verified it as another continent, everyone just thought it was part of Asia.

Columbus also did not prove that the world was round. That actually wasn't what people thought. They weren't that unintelligent.

Oh yeah just in case you were wondering I deleted all the spa comments.

 

Since this was kind of a serious entry.

 

Hence the category.

Why has no one mentioned Greenland yet? It's American too, but all these people only care that Alaska and parts of Canda were left out.
