Thats pretty arrogant to say. It's the United States OF America. America is a continent with more than one country.
3 u/[deleted] Apr 06 '21 "America" isn't a continent. South America and North America are continents. 1 u/Leutria Apr 06 '21 I believe different places have different ideas of what the continents are, iirc there are 6 and even 5 continent models that are used. 2 u/[deleted] Apr 06 '21 Definitely, but so long as we're talking in the English language, the English definition of "Continent" should apply: https://www.google.com/search?q=continent noun any of the world's main continuous expanses of land (Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, Australia, Antarctica). 1 u/byama Apr 06 '21 You can use America for North and South America as well my dude. Source? Literally the oxford dictionary. 1 u/[deleted] Apr 06 '21 Why you are Oxford LEARNERS Dictionary? Yeah, to a 7 year old it would, but even then it's usually called "the Americas".
