A. Who's saying anything about making it illegal? That's not even possible. You're completely overreacting. I definitely don't think it should be "illegal" but it shouldn't be a requirement either. If you come to a foreign country, you can't expect their citizens to cater to you. It doesn't work that way, nor should it. Answer me this: Why is it that American tourists are constantly lampooned for supposedly expecting Europeans to speak English, but nobody bats an eye when Central/South Americans who permanantly move to the US expect everyone here to speak Spanish? Do you honestly not see an incongruence there?

Do Americans call the United States the "the States"?
Q. I'm just wondering because I live in Canada and whenever I hear the people there refer to the USA, they always use the term "the States," rather than "the United States," "the US," or "America." Is it common for Americans to call their country "the States"? Or is it just foreigners?

Why is Alaska not part of the "Continental United States" and Puerto Rico statehood?
Q. I can understand why Hawaii isn't considered part of the Continental United States. They're Islands thousands of miles in the Pacific Ocean. However, Alaska is attached to the Continent of North America! Why is it not considered a Continental State? I have heard people refer to the "Continental USA" as the "Lower 48". Would that explain it? Also, will Puerto Rico ever become a State? Why or why not? Is it not about time for it?
Asked by - Wed Jan 11 18:56:02 2012 - Geography - 2 Answers - Comments
A. People don't seem to get the difference between "continental" (on the same continent) and "contiguous" (touching each other). Alaska is definitely a part of the "continental" US but not a part of the "contiguous " US. I don't know why that's so hard, but it seems to be. Puerto Rican statehood is much tied up with whether or not people are willing to speak English, and also with how many people live in poverty. The US is much in debt and can't just absorb a whole bunch of needy citizens. The reasons for not making Puerto Rico a state (at least right now) are simply practical (mostly money) ones.

A. That is an excellent question! The name "America," was given to the Americas, North and South. The continents were named after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. In my opinion it doesn't make sense to refer to the USA as "America," when MANY countries (Canada, Mexico, and the countries in Central America, South America) comprise the Americas. It's great to be proud of your country, but unfortunately, SOME Americans are arrogant... everyone in the world is equally important!

But within this international community of Responders here on Y!A, I note how that should one use the word "America" in a synonymous way with "United States", there are those from Mexico, Canada, or even South America who take offense, stating they are Americans too. So in an effort to not mislead and in an effort to be more politically correct, I always try to write "U.S." or "USA" if I mean just that country and not all of North America and/or South America.

Why do Mexicans call the U.S. "North America"?

I know there is a debate on this, and considering that both Mexico and the U.S. are technically "United States" (i.e. United States of America and United Mexican States), maybe this is used to differentiate the two, but it still isn't clear to me why this is the term used by many Mexicans used to specifically refer to the U.S. Anyone have any insight? For the first couple of answers, as far as I have known, Mexico is in North America. North America consists of Canada, U.S., and Mexico (i.e. NAFTA).

Q. Partisan politics and accusations of certain peoples and States not being "real" Americans stand to prove the term united is outdated and no longer applies The US has pitted class against class State against State the federal government against the State and race against race The United States --- is no more than a lose affiliation of waring tribal units of varying degree engaged in crime What should we consider calling them now since united is an outright lie?

A. I'll tell you what I think it is, there is a small minority of people here in the United States that just can't stand to see that we have voted a black person to be our president, period.They will stop at nothing to disrupt, or even sabotage his presidency. We the majority are letting this happen by not shouting back at these bigots. To me this is still the the greatest nation. So why are we letting a few take over our country?

Why do you refer to yourselves as "Americans" when you are from the United States?
Q. America is comprised of Central and South America and Canada. The United States is stuck between them. But they are more "American" than you. I note that at times you refer to yourselves as 'americans' in some instances and as "from the United States" in others. As "Americans" when you want to be thought of as some big giant of sorts; such as the winners of some worldwide Olympic sport or something, or as from "the United States" or "USA" when you want to place an exclamation point on something ~~ like at a basketball game -"Usa usa usa" who are you anyway?(scratching head) Most just don't get it. You can't even figure it out yourselves. The fact remains that South and Central… [cont.]

Does the Americans in the United States "manipulate" their currency?
Q. Have you heard from the main stream media about American Politicians accusing China of "currency manipulation" of the Chinese Yuan? Just yesterday during the Republican Debate, Mitt Romney, the current leader in the presidential campaign said, if elected president, "I will label China is a currency manipulator... and we (Americans) should slap on tariffs for Chinese imports into the USA" Where do I begin? Point number one - China and the USA belong to the WTO (World Trade Organization). If you Americans have a problem with the Chinese on Trade, then why don't you walk the talk, and deal with it within the framework at the WTO? Could it be, you Amercans, really don't have a case to be made? But "talk" against… [cont.]

Please explain to me what "militant Atheism" is here in North America. Question mark?
Q. When I hear the term "Militant atheist", I picture someone walking down the street, snatching cross necklaces off people, throwing molotov cocktails in churches etc. Reminding the public of "separation of church and state" and engaging in logical (and sometimes heated, admittedly) debate are about as militant as I've seen atheism get. Explain yourselves.
