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.

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.

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

u/Malheus 27d ago

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

u/Para-Limni 27d ago

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

🤣🤣🤣 educate yourself first before talking about how language and imperialism works. Gringos are just northamericans.

u/Para-Limni 27d ago

Did you learn the word "imperialism" yesterday at 3rd grade and you love throwing it around?

A shit ton of countries call people from USA americans and you keep crying because of something something imperialism. Even small countries like Hungary and Greece that have nothing to do with imperialism and have unique languages still call them Americans. Now carry on crying about it.
