Why do americans insist on calling britain "england"? You'd think with the
amount of pretend nationalism over there with your "irish" americans, "italian"
americans etc (most of whom probably couldn't find their "homeland" on a map
if you paid them) they'd be fully well aware of scotland and wales.

America and Americans refers ONLY to the peoples of the U.S. of A. The
continent is correctly called North America, no matter what you may think.

Who cares.
