America is not a country.

people say "im from america" and dont mean "north or south america". just like people just say " im from the US".

I'm not talking about what people say, I'm talking about reality.

[–] ShadowHunter (814) a year ago

yes what people say is reality. words dont have inherent objective meanings, they have usages. i work at somewhere on the border and we get plenty of americans. they have all said "im american" "from america" or "from the US" or "from the states". i have never ever say "i am from the united states of america"

If someone is from New York, are they a proud American or a proud United States of American?

[–] Towelie_Towel (1773) a year ago

Are we discussing "American Ferrara" or "America Ferrara"?

[–] samoanjoes (56646) a year ago

The OP asked if she was named after a country, so the fact that American isn't a country, we know who we're talking about.
