America is too embarrassing.

Always has been mate. And it's just the US by the way, "America" is the name of 2 continents.

    North America and South America are the continents names in English, they’re not called America and America.

    Ok, Mr. strict rules, I was aiming at North and South, or Central as well if you want to be fancy. But following your strict rules, America also isn't the name of a country. It's just a part of one. Canada and Brazil are also a part of America, it's just that US Americans don't know there's a world outside their own country.

    But my autism agrees with you :)

    Sadly, it's quasi-official to say America as a stand-in for USA. Just like "Larger Middle East" became a real term after Americans (sic) used it for some time, probably to justify atrocities.

    But the US is the name of two countries. How do I know if you're talking about USA or Mexico?

    Mexico dropped the United States of Mexico a couple of years ago. So it only is USA.
