        @righteousnarwhal Only if you mean North America, Canada takes pride in its independence as a country

          @nethernarwhal I use America exclusively to refer to the continent, unless I'm doing 'murrica jokes.

              @nethernarwhal There are at least 30 countries in America so using the word to refer to a country is pretty damn stupid IMO.

                  @rainbowsdash 37 independent countries, more if you count semi-independent and satellite areas too.

                      @rainbowsdash you don't honestly think that the US is the only country in the whole continent do you

                        @zeldatra oh I thought they meant 30 countries in the United States of America..........

                          @rainbowsdash I would have said USA were that the case.

                          @rainbowsdash Yes. That is absolutely 100% what they meant.

                @righteousnarwhal Yeah, I usually say "US" or "USA" though because of lingual connotations "America" often refers to the US.

                  @nethernarwhal I use US or USA when on international sites like this one, and yankeelandia locally.

                    @righteousnarwhal Yeah, I usually use US or USA and offline in spoken conversation I tend to use "The States" a lot.

                      @nethernarwhal I'll often use america.... I don't know, I just allways have :P

                      1. Narwhal Narwhal

                        @rainbowsdash I tend to avoid it because, as @righteousnarwhal pointed out, it also refers to the whole continent despite often being used in the context of the US.

                          @nethernarwhal Then would America refer to North America or South America. At that point its getting very specific

                              @righteousnarwhal Well, where I live, most people use America to refer to US. I guess it could be regional. Texas accent :P

                          @nethernarwhal Better to just say North or south America

                      @nethernarwhal I also use "estados unidos" in formal conversation but I rarely have formal conversations regarding geography or international politics.

                        @righteousnarwhal Usually it might just be if someone's driving down for the weekend they'll say something like "Heading out to the States for a few days"
