"We can't ban fighting in hockey!"
Fuck off, how come most sports don't have fights but hockey players are special like that?
Also the rest of the world plays hockey without needing to fight.
It's just America
Uh...this happened in Canada.
Canada is in America. North America
TIL Canada and Mexico are part of the United States
It's the United States of America, America is the continent.
North America is the continent buddy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas
The Americas, sometimes collectively called America,[4][5][6] are a landmass comprising the totality of North and South America
You are putting in a lot of effort to die on the dumbest hill ever.
People from the USA put a lot of effort appropriating everything and they can get fucked.
As a Canadian it's not my problem if people from the USA wants to appropriate the term that very clearly refers to the continent in their own country's name.
As a Canadian you know damn well that when someone says America they're referring to the country, not two continents.
And I correct them like I'm doing now
🖕
To correct someone you have to be right about it in the first place.
Oh but I am right, the continent had its name before the USA was even a thought in anyone's mind.
It's the United States of America, what is America if not the continent in which these States exist to be united?
The people of the USA have no exclusive right on a term used to designate a continent they share with more people than lives in their country.
I know they love to pretend no other country exist and a ridiculous number of them couldn't point their own country on a map let alone know that Canada isn't a State, it doesn't make them right to appropriate the term "America" or "American".
How would you designate someone who comes from the American continent? People from Asia are Asians, those from Europe are Europeans... So, what do you call someone who lives on in that other continent where you find such countries as Mexico, Honduras, Brazil, Ecuador, Canada, etc.?
Not this argument again...
You're playing really loose with the semantics, but whatever.
