United States of America should have a better name, amirite?

Mexicos official name is the Estados Unidos de Mexico. They're a group of United States as well

I think the USA currently has more urgent issues than their name ;-)

i mean it is a group of states (and commonwealths) that united against a common enemy (britain) for independence within the land of america. it is quite well named for exactly what it is lol

No, I actually think it should now be officially called... "a Group of States and Commonwealths that United Against a Common Enemy for Independence within the Land of America." Or GSCUACEILA for short.

i approve of this…although this will make the pledge of allegiance a bit interesting to say the least

Pretty sure that EVERY country follows a similar naming structure. The People's Republic of Libya or Democratic Socialist Republic of Belize or something like that.

Mexico is technically the United States of Mexico. Canada was the Dominion of Canada until the ‘80s. Germany is the Federal Republic of Germany. Most countries don't just have a one word "name." They're a (something) of (place).

Yeah this is the problem, people think it is a bad name then suggest an outright terrible one instead.

I'm German. In colloquial speech, only wiseguys who have beef with the US insist on USA or VSA.

No, you're just wrong. And that's okay big guy.

Not exactly, America is more than just the country, it's a continent, so calling the US America isn't really true.

Ahh, like many people say "England" while they actually mean "Great Britain".

by Repulsive-Tomato-723 2 days ago

and say Great Britain when they mean the United Kingdom.

by ComprehensiveLeg6225 2 days ago

You've never seen it because it would cause confusion even if it would be technically correct. To help those 1% of English speakers should we call the United States... 'Merica?

by ComprehensiveLeg6225 2 days ago

Well technically a lot of country names are like this too though, like Mexico isn't actually Mexico, it's "the United States of Mexico". This overly pedantic stuff just really annoys me.

by Fit-Rent5348 2 days ago

This overly pedantic stuff just really annoys me. Oh, I enjoy it! And I'm definitely going to start referring to Mexico as the United States................. of Mexico.

Canada, Mexico and other countries are not in America?

by Repulsive-Tomato-723 2 days ago

They are on the North American continent, yes. French-Guiana, however, is located on the South American one and is part of the European Union.

by Anonymous 2 days ago

So they're in America, just like the USA is.

by Repulsive-Tomato-723 2 days ago

No, that's the entire continent... North and South Saying America technically means Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, etc.

by ComprehensiveLeg6225 2 days ago

Seems awfully prescriptivist of you.

by Anonymous 2 days ago

Oh yeah, 100% If you're going to call the United States... America then you should at least know that it is technically incorrect and what it should actually be called is 'Merica.

by ComprehensiveLeg6225 2 days ago

How about, let's see, the United States? Oh, that's what it is. Of America is just added so people know it's part of the Americas.

Dont worry, I'm sure Trump will attempt to rename it the United States of Trump soon enough, and you'll get your silly wish.
