How come we say America and Americans when we really mean USA and USA... sans?
😕
Ok, I think I understand now.
But how come it's called the United States of America, when it's not really all of America?
Why not United States of North America? Or better yet: "United States of Middle North America, a Slice of the Most Northern Part of North America and a group of Islands in the Pacific"? Yeah, that should do it. Those USMNAAPMNPNAIP:ans couldn't come up with anything better than the USA. 🙄
Or maybe just the US, come to think of it.
!! 😲
Oh! I see. So it should be United States, period. And we call them USes, because we're all gonna be part of the United States one day. Just one happy world of USes everywhere.
😕
No, wait! USes kinda rhymes with...

As for Americans... I don't much care for that either. Very strange considering the number of countries in the Americas. It should be "US Americans" as this learned young lady points out:

Like Kennedia after president Kennedy or something...?
Or Bushland after president Bush, either of them...?
Perhaps Obamia, of Clintonia, or another good name of it's own as every other coutnry has?
