I don't think it's really a matter or us being full of ourselves to call it America, It's just what most people call it. Therefore you tend to do the same thing and it is common for everyone. It's also much easier to say than "The United States." I actually don't like our name. It's not even really a name at all, is it?
make it legal Reviewed by make it legal on . Wrong to call the USA, America Well Ive noticed that lots of people call the states, America. But when i think america, i think of the US of course, but what about all the other countries, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, etc. There are plenty of countries on the continents of North and South America, but how come none of them get called American. I dunno, somtimes i think the states and "Americans" are just too full of ourselves. Rating: 5
