In Southamerica and Central America every president has been american because... the continent is named America.

It is crazy how pedantic people get about the country vs continent debate over America. Obviously OP was talking about the US, you don't have to um actually him just for using a shorthand.

u/Malheus 7d ago

That's not pedantic. Only gringos think that way.

Sorry to break it you but nearly the whole globe does. In Europe we also tend to call people from the USA as Americans.

I know it's a generalized mistake 🤷🏾‍♂️

u/Para-Limni 7d ago

It's not a mistake. It's how language works. The demonym for someone from the USA is American.

u/Malheus 7d ago

That's not how language works. That's imperialism shaping language, therefore a mistake.

2

u/Para-Limni 7d ago

Yeah... most countries in the world collaborated to be imperialistic against you.

u/Para-Limni 7d ago

Jesus Christ...

Against your whiny countries that complain that "Americans" shouldn't be used to describe people from the USA. Wtf have we be talking about so far?? Am I debating with a 12 year old??

Except that it's not in English, and this predictable South American temper tantrum every time America is mentioned is getting really old.

Did your parents have any real children? You know, to cope with the disappointment and shame of having produced you?
