YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

MODERATORS
You are presenting an ad hominem argument. Do you have anything actually meaningful to bring to the discussion other than your self-righteousness?
My argument is this:
First: America is named after the italian cartographer Amerigo Vispucci. He is attributed to be the first to realize America was not India, as Columbus thought. This happened long before the country even existed.
Second: The name of the country IS United States of America. The word "of" literally means that the group of states is in or belongs to America. Therefore, America cannot be the country itself.
Third: There are plenty of other examples of continents with geographical subdivisions:
Indeed, there are different types of sub-divisions. For example in America:
None of these divisions create a new continent.
Fourth: The shorthand "american" was introduced by the french as a quick way to identify the two main variants of English (the language). They started to call the English from England "Anglais", and the one from this new continent "Anglais américain" or simply "américain".
Fifth: in a lighter tone... Would you trust the same country that defends this health "care" system, the imperial units system, and that elected this current president to tell you how to split the world?
You can see it as pedantic. I see it as respecting the 20+ countries that have to live with this name appropiation. We can of course disagree, but I invite you to bring actual arguments.
I did in the first part of my comment. I didn't provide any links, because you didn't. If that's what you want though, fine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent
So together that represents 4.1 billion of the 8.3 billion people on the planet
If we add just Russia to that list, even ignoring the rest of Eastern Europe, we come to 4.2 billion, or over half of the global population now.
I'm assuming you're in Latin America, and that's why you're taking this personally. My commentary was simply about you being pedantic about something that doesn't really matter. The tone of your post seemed to imply that your opinion here was the only correct one... something that clearly isn't accurate.
I didn't realize that half the world combined the Americas, much like it seems you didn't know that as well given your original post.
Either way, this discussion is off topic from the original post about Healthcare in the US and ultimately pointless here. I can only assume you came here looking for an argument given the tone of your original post and responses so far, so you can have fun arguing with yourself over pointless delineations that serve no purpose. Have a good day.
