I’m admittedly biased being a US American, but the only time I ever see anyone refer to any part of the Americas except the US as “America” is when they’re trying to make this point. It never comes up in conversation otherwise.
I’m not saying that some people/places don’t use it that way, but those people have never made it to the same parts of the internet that I inhabit.
Isn’t North and South America together often called ‘America’ (as an alternative to ‘The Americas’)?
That’s being a bit pedantic. You know he’s talking about the USA
Yes, but somehow the US made it theirs.
