Wow, you're a special kind of stupid, huh?

Aww, what's wrong? Did i hurt your feelings? Hmmm?

Nah, you hurt my IQ by posting your idiotic logic and making it available to read. When people say "America" they are referring to the country (USA), not the continent (North America).

The point is why would you self entitle your country by referring to it by the name of a continent which includes many other countries. Both NA and SA are part of the American continent. America as a continent waa named so long before the USA was. The gripe we have in the rest of the continent is how gringos refer to themselves as americans while denying such title to the rest of the ppl in the american continent as if they were more american than the rest of the americans

There isn't an 'American' continent - it's either North America or South America. Two different continents. Also, the reference of 'American' is in regards to the USA, not the continent. Stop trying to miscontrue the term to fit your agenda. [spoiler]I'm not even going to address the use of the gringo term, either. [/spoiler]

"America" is the only country where NA and SA are considered two different continents. This name was given after a spanish cartographer during the XVI century and was used to refer to the whole continent. The division between N and S was only accepted and only in murica after the Canal de Panamá was finished. The term "america" to refer to a single is both innaccurate and prepotent
