He turned a geographic term into to a political discussion and then into an idiotic linguistic rant. by john_t@piefed.ee |
| 2 days ago | mod | Removed Comment You're a moron. You said "north-american" isn't a demonyn in my language. I took the time to show it without insulting you. You doubled down in calling a whole country ignorant.
I'm insulting you now because it's the only way you can argue.
Again, I wasn't using the article to prove the US is north-america, I used it to show you absolutely didn't know what you were talking about when you say north-american isn't a demonym in my own language. And you still insist over and over again that you know portuguese better than me or a news agency. by john_t@piefed.ee |
| 2 days ago | mod | Removed Comment I just showed you a news article from the largest news organisation in Portugal and you just choose to call it ignorant. And you still think you know more portuguese than them.
So for you, American means only someone from the US, but we can't mention someone from the US as north-american.
When from the start I just said America is a geographic place that you are trying to prove it doesn't exist.
People from the US choose to call themselves American, and that's not a world problem. by john_t@piefed.ee |

Please count how many times they say "norte-americano" in this article. It's the proper way to adress matters from the US in portuguese news. I count north-american 6 times, zero "american" and zero estadunidense.
Estadunidense is brazilian. But maybe you can say it's all the same. But I can't say America is a continent in all the languages of the world other than yours. by john_t@piefed.ee |

Tell me more then, oh grammar wizard. What is the demonym in portuguese? by john_t@piefed.ee |
| 2 days ago | mod | Removed Comment That's like saying southern europeans are not european. Canada is in the american continent. So, Canadians are from the american continent. Outside of America, eveyone calls that chunk of land "America" from north to south. I'm sorry for not being american, I guess? by john_t@piefed.ee |

| 2 days ago | mod | Removed Comment Having a "North America" implies there's an "America", it doesn't come out of the blue. You didn't start with a North America, you start with America and *then* divide it between north and south.
If there's no such thing as an "America", then why have a northern america? Why is everyone reacting like I'm claiming Canada is part of the US?
Edit: Oh, shame on you sir! I just realized OP starts by calling the canadian "non-American" and you proceed to say there's no such thing as an "America". If he's non-American then what is he? European? Asian?
So everyone is a non-American, even the people in the US. Because how can you not be a non-American if America doesn't exist? Good day Sir! by john_t@piefed.ee |
| 2 days ago | mod | Removed Comment > together referred to as “The Americas”
Nope, the plural was used the same way as The Indies for India or The Japans for Japan. It's a coloquialism from the time.
>“American”, which you are.
I am not.
>Because “American” is the recognized demonym for the citizens of the country United States of America.
Funny thing, in my country the demonym for a US citizen is North-American. Again, sorry for not beeing a non-american. by john_t@piefed.ee |
