It bothers me a little bit that some people think the word America does not mean the USA. They really need to change the name altogether because people just cant agree on what the word means.

Nice try covering up your mistake. The reality is, you tried to school somebody and made yourself look stupid, now try again.
sorry but no. say the word America(s) around any person not from the United States, and they will not think you are talking about Canada or Central America
LOL, more stupidity and nonsense. Practically all of Latin America uses the term "America," to describe all of the Americas. They actually find it irritating that the USA uses the term "America" to describe only their country.
But the word Americas, people would automatically think of the continents. Just because you are too ignorant to have ever heard of it, doesn't mean nobody else knows about it.
Seriously, what do you think "Americas" is a plural of?
for the last seven years, i've been around people from just about every country on this planet for 2-4 months per year. even the central/latin american people use indvidual country names. NONE of them associate "America" with anything other than the USA.
it is a very outdated phrase, Americas

If you are in a foreign country saying America in an American accent, people will assume you are referring to USA. That should be pretty obvious, shouldn't it?
This doesn't mean that they refer to it as America themselves, they actually say USA or United States.
First of all, they don't even use the word "American" or "Americano" to describe Americans from the USA. If you use the term "Americano" to describe yourself, that is actually the wrong word, because they use that word for the whole continent, and the word "Americano" has multiple meanings.
Instead, they use the word "estadounidense" in Spanish to describe Americans.
Do you know what that word means? I'll give you a hint... "Estados Unidos" means "United States."

As a Canadian, and I speak for all Canadians. Most take offense when its suggested we're part of the America. It is kind of an outdated word

This article explains it a lot more thoroughly:
Quote:
In Latin America, "American" means anyone from the American continent. U.S. citizens claiming the word are considered gauche or imperialist. So what's the solution?
I was sitting with an Argentine friend, well educated and well traveled, who was reading The Atlantic online. A headline used the term "America" as a synonym for the United States of America. "That's incorrect," he said, sounding shocked that an esteemed publication would make such a junior mistake. "America is a region, not a country."
Though I didn't share his reaction, as a U.S. citizen living in Argentina I had quickly learned that it was in best taste to avoid referring to myself as an "American" or the U.S. as "America." Such terminology almost always provoked my Argentinian acquaintances. "We're all Americans," some would say gently, with a smile. In extreme cases I would receive a tirade denouncing U.S. arrogance. Largely, in Latin America and for Latin Americans, the term "America" means Latin America, and "American," Latin American.
Quote:
Beyond vagueness, "American" also can be interpreted as a loaded term when verbalized by people from the U.S. As one Argentine friend explained, "Someone from the U.S. calling him or herself 'American' is equivalent to people from the U.S. traveling anywhere in the world and expecting everyone to speak English." In other words, many link the practice to that negative U.S. tourist stereotype: rude, culturally unaware and self-centered.
http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/06/what-does-american-actually-mean/276999/
LOL, I really hope you weren't traveling all throughout Latin America referring to yourself as American the whole time. You probably looked like the stereotypical clueless American tourist, especially if you were speaking in English the whole time, and didn't make any attempts to speak Spanish (which it sounded like you didn't).
I would be quite embarrassed if I were you. Maybe you can be forgiven if you were just staying at a resort the whole time where everybody speaks English.

I am correcting him, because he made the incorrect assertion that everybody outside of the USA universally recognizes the term "America" as USA.
To which I responded, actually no, actually, a significant portion of the world doesn't.
I cannot let factually inaccurate statements fly idly by, spreading wrong information around like that.

America refers to the USA. All the other hangers-on that exist in the shadow cast by the shining light of greatness that is the USA that call the rest of the continent America only do so because calling it anything else makes them weaker by disassociation from the real America--the USA.

The term america was actually coined by an Italian in the 1800's and it was in reference to the continent. Not an individual country.

WTF do Italians know about anything? I'm sure the land was called something else before the Italians called it whatever the fuck they called it. It's all irrelevant to the absolute fact that America = USA.

It depends on what country you are from. Great Britain and USA and Japan for example, definitely uses America to describe the USA.
But Germany and France, just as an example, do not. In Germany, they will use "Vereinigte Staaten," because the phrase "Amerikaner" can mean somebody from other parts of the Americas. Instead, they use the phrase "US-Amerikaner" which is considered much more proper, or "US-Bürger (citizen)."
And in places where French is spoken, such as France, Québec, Haiti, French Guyana, it is actually considered rude to classify yourself as an American without using the phrase United States. In all of Latin America, they use the term USA as well.
So no, you cannot say that universally America means America everywhere you go.

Don't worry it got me too bro
That is some shit I WOULD expect from Trump, I was surprised it wasn't satire to be honest.
What's crazy too is, a few days ago Trump dared Putin to hack into Hillary's email servers.
A DAY after he made that statement, the DNC had their emails hacked by some organization from Russia.
Then DumbTruck tries to claim it was "just a joke." 
How is Trump not in trouble for treason, or conspiring to espionage with a nation that's supposed to be an enemy of ours?
