lunar1126 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 This thread really got off on the wrong foot! :lol: I understand the confusion - why doesn't a mod just change the title so that everyone's happy? Yeah it is a bit pointless since the whole idea behind the International section is so that people can feel comfortable talking in their own languages, but it wouldn't hurt to have an United States thread... Any other Oregonians out there? :P Rah rah rah, best state ever! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palicorrei Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Aww, c'mon folks, no need to fight over whether or not the fact that America is the United States is technically correct. We all know what the thread author means. :) And Pallavli, *sigh* yes, back in the good ol' days when Mr. Bill Clinton was president. 'Nuff said, Arizona represent. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winigwl Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 we had this same arguement in another thread that i made. my problem is, i know there's a word for it in spanish (estadosunidense i believe). but we don't have a word. all we have is american Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chueko Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 we say 'estadounidense' when we say 'americano' we talk about all america (waht you call the americas) ;) but that was an old story :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palicorrei Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Yeah, we even use it here in the States, in the Hispanic community. We say "gringos", too, which is quite popular. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavi Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 isnt "gringos" a bit pejorative ? we say Etats-Uniens in French not really common though. BTW, I'd love to go there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay_me Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Ok......so........Is this the "official" U.S.A. thread?? Hrm....

Ambergris Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Of course America can be a country... I thought Europe was a country as well. :wacko: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ac4KFdM3t4]YouTube - American girl and geography[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 WHOOP! AMERICA! America is hated and there's a lot of good reasons to hate, but it's also a great country with a lot of great people. Like anywhere else, you cannot sum up all the people as one, there are so many different people here. For instance, there are the losers, then there are the cool people who like Coldplay. :cool: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Eh, let's not make a big deal out of this now, I'm from a mexican background born here and i don't say i'm United-Statesen... cuz that doesnt make sense... I say I'm American... well technically I'm Mexican but you know what I mean... I don't think it's really USA hogging the "America" title... When you say "the AmericaS" I know you're talking about a gajillion countries as one... but when u refer to an America... first thing that comes to mind is the USA... so ... does that make any sense...
