@b3f585f3e038f1dccdfaf2d7a1449a418605c392cd33ba7f137bca24842f5f90 Haha. True that. The USA has been called simply as "America" too. And "Americas" supposedly "North America" only. 😅
How did it end up being referred to as "The States" and the "America"? I think that reference is way older than me, since I've heard since the 80s.
