Indeed, U.S.A. is not America!
America is the name of a whole continent. United States of America means that the United States belongs to America and NOT that America belongs to the United States. So, next time you want to refer to The United States of America, you can do it as U.S. or the States or whatever you want but not as only America. Gotcha?
How should I use the term America then?
Here we will show you some wrong and correct uses of the term America:
This is how we do it in America.
This is how we do it in the States.
- America is my country and I love it.
- The United States is my country and I love it.
- America lost the Vietnam war.
- U.S.A. lost the Vietnam war.
- Here in America we love Mc Donald's.
- Here in the U.S. we love Mc Donald's.
Please, note that this page in not about demonyms (gentilics) but about the way to call a country.

Hi Andy, if you meant this link (https://bit.ly/3atYe4R), I had to use it because this website did not allow me to post a long URL. I got an error msg about a word being too long. As an end-user, I can do nothing with someone else's IP. :)
Well my bad, but still, don't click strangers links without protection

There is a lot of chat to laugh about
you're welcome
David, what do you think about the plandemic? As a United Statian, don't you feel guilty?
I will never forget some of your classic posts. I think my favorite is: “America is not a word.” Unbelievable. Thanks for the laughs. That’s your job after all, payasa.
David When you left this place it was peaceful and yet you are back only to bring discord and insults. Stop the bullying and behave like an adult. Discuss the issue at hand.
Spain??
What rule of naming is being broken by calling the USA ‘America’? Mrs. Anonymous, you have been posting here for years, but you have never posted a link to a legitimate rule of naming that says it is incorrect to call the USA ‘America’. There’s a simple reason for this. No such rule exists. No rule of naming is being broken by calling the country ‘America’. Stop whining and BSing, payasa.
is called "honor". But you well know that the name is not an official name otherwise everything in the government would be called "America". United States Post Office, United States President, United States Congress, United States Army, United States Passport, United States Citizenship, U.S. Dollar, etc etc.
David, is there any rule for not killing people in the Middle East? but you do it, right?
Would you imagine calling Andrea "David"? it does not make sense, right?
There are obvious things your government does not need to teach you. You're not a puppet.
