its so weird. what do they expect us to call ourselves if we aren't allowed to call ourselves american? do they want us to call ourselves "the united states-ians?" the "US-ers"? its pretty much accepted everywhere that people from the USA call themselves "americans" and we claimed that phrase. if someone was from south america they call themselves south americans. or they call themselves by whatever country in south america theyre from. Ie. Brazilian , Chilean, Bolivian, Argentinian.

I thought it’s a problem when we say “I’m going to America” and we should be saying “I’m going to the US” ?? Can y’all decide??😭😭

The whole world calls USA America. When they they need to specify that it’s a continent they say North America.

Because outside of America people are educated .. they say the names of countries they’re visiting rather than the continent

I'm pretty sure its intentional, just another way to keep the "stupid American" stereotype alive

It's like if someone said "China" and you got real weird and demanded they clarify if they mean "The Republic of China" or "The peoples Republic of China" and insist that there's no country called China.

its bc for some reason they call north and south america one continent and is crazy coming from people who believe theres a geographic distinction between Europe and Asia

They purposefully confuse the plural. Everyone knows what you mean if you say “I’m going to the americas” vs “I’m going to America” two very different things

Thank you!! I don’t know why this is so hard for them to understand. They calm us Americans and then get mad when we call our country America.

"Im going to Australia."
"Oh! Where in Australia?"
"Sydney"
"So the COUNTRY of Australia, better known as the Commonwealth since Australia is the continent and you COULD have been going to NZ for all I knew."
Said no one, ever.

And also there is no continent called “America” there’s South America and North America and when talking about both of them you say the Americas. The word “America” almost always refers to the USA so I don’t get why Europeans get so weird about it

Actually, if someone from my country told me they went to America in my language, I’d ask south or north, because America is a continent, and we both refer to it as such. If someone from the US told me he was from America, yeah I’d just assume he’s speaking about the US, bc usually they’re the only one that say that, people from other countries usually just specify the country.
