    The US doesn’t have exclusive rights to “America” as a name. In fact strictly speaking “Gulf of America” is not a bad name since it is the largest gulf in the Americas AFAIK.

      Agreed. Let’s also change our demonym to Unitedstatian.

        You joke but in many languages they do that, for instance “statunitensi” or “estadounidenses”

          I don’t joke actually. I chose “Unitedstatians” exactly because that’s what other languages do.
