      Yeah. The only “correct” one is the one where you steal the whole continent’s name for yourselves, right?

        The continent is North America.

        The correct one is the one the entire world uses when speaking English.

            No. They’re part of the continent of North America, dumbass.

            America (without the North qualifier) refers to the country and has since before Canada and Mexico existed as countries. Canadians and Mexicans don’t call themselves Americans. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that a pretty good way to piss a lot of Canadians and probably Mexicans off is to call them Americans. Stop acting like you don’t know this shit.
