Bfahome Posted July 4, 2008 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. ~SB~ You are. Where's Hawaii? It's American too. Couldn't fit on. :/ Quote Link to comment
Teebert Posted July 4, 2008 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." Quote Link to comment
Arch-Angel Posted July 4, 2008 Apparently part of Alaska is nixed out of the mix. ~AA Quote Link to comment
Torhuki Posted July 4, 2008 And part of Mexico is part of the US. O_o Bfa, you're changing borders! =O ~Cap'n Quote Link to comment
Bundalings Posted July 4, 2008 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... =/ BtB Edit: WHAR IS MY STATE? AND ROA'S FOR THAT MATTER WHAT, TOO GOOD FOR US? Quote Link to comment
Chols Posted July 4, 2008 And part of Mexico is part of the US. O_o Bfa, you're changing borders! =O ~Cap'n 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. > Quote Link to comment

Bioran23 Posted July 4, 2008 The guy who named America was actually Chinese, who was screaming "What the heck is that?" in Chinese and it sounded like "America". ~ Bioran Quote Link to comment
Dark Wanderer Posted July 4, 2008 The guy who named America was actually Chinese, who was screaming "What the heck is that?" in Chinese and it sounded like "America". ~ Bioran That would explain quite a lot. Quote Link to comment
Aravagantos Posted July 4, 2008 That's why in Spain we call "estadounidenses" ("unitedstatians") the inhabitants of the "EE.UU." (U.S.A. without the A.) Quote Link to comment
Dark Wanderer Posted July 4, 2008 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?' Quote Link to comment

Ghostie Posted July 5, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment
Bfahome Posted July 13, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment
Nukora Posted September 11, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment
