[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, Canada poster, if I asked someone where they were from and they responded "North America", I would follow with Canada? US? Mexico? If I ask the same question and they say "from America" I would ask what state or city they were from. In school, do you learn to name our continent as North America or just America?[/quote] We learned them as The Americas: North America, Central America, and South America. We learned your country as the United States of America - and in short form, The States, the US or the USA. We were never taught that the US was America or that there was any country named America. Hence it sounds bizarre. [/quote]
