  • Why is this standard only applied to the US?

    It’s the United States of America. [Descriptor] [name].

    Just like it’s the Federal Republic of Germany. But people don’t throw a fit when you don’t call it that. Or just the Federal Republic.

    America was the first one to become a country in the Americas. It got dibs. This complaint is especially stupid when it comes to referring to the populace as Americans, as there is no other name to refer to its citizens by.

    People are just looking for stupid reasons to be mad at something. There’s plenty of legitimate reasons already.
