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??

United States of America is a long name, and a little stiff. America is just short. It doesn't hurt anything cuz no other country in the Western Hemisphere uses "America" in their country's name.
