Mexico =United states of Mexico


Didn't they just change that?

North American, Central America, and South America are all continents. Collectively, they are known as The Americas.



I'd rather say American than United Statisticians.

Central America isn't a continent...

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

North America is a continent, and South America is a continent, but America is an abbreviation of The United States of America.

Swing and a miss, OP.

Mess with one of us, you mess with all of us.

As long as there's only one word for "American" in English, people from the US are going to continue to call us/each other, American. Another word for the nationality needs to be invented...

No, North America and South America are continents. America is the epithet of the United States of America.

You're welcome.

No. America refers to the Untied Stated of America and not Canada or Mexico.

That's ridiculous. There're seven continents. They're based off plate tectonics.

And which country has the name "America" in it? Oh yeah, the United States of AMERICA.

/thread


Mexico has it too Sherlock it's called United States of Mexico. Google it.
OK, reviewing your previous statement it's apparent you misinterpreted this post in which Onyx81 correctly stated that the official title of the country of Mexico, UNITED MEXICAN STATES, has no mention of the Latin name for the two continents in the western hemisphere described by Amerigo Vespucci of Italy as a new set of continents unknown to mainstream Europe back in the 16th century A.D. (or C.E. if you wanna be politically correct which judging by your statements is what your purpose in this thread was from the start.)
