sonic1988 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I was in my spanich class today and the teacher said that we say that we are from the USA and not america because america is canada and south america and everything, so since many people in this forum are in different countries: when someone says they are american to you instantly think from the USA??? or am I dead wrong? I just want to know because I live in the USA so I really can't say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny 5 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 When I hear 'America' I always think of the USA, not the continent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
