In all seriousness, im just curious about the reason of why people from the USA refer to their country as America. It's not that i hate it, but being from America (the continent) makes me wonder... Are people from the USA self-centered enough to refer themselves as a whole continent??

1) it's the Americas split into North, Central, and South. 2) United States of [b][i]America[/i][/b] 3) People on this continent have been called Americans for a long time.
