TIL Ecuador doesn't have its own currency and uses US dollars, but maybe not the same US dollars you are used to seeing. - eviltoast

    Mate, there is literally only one country with America in it’s name.

    Furthermore in a 2 continent Americas model, there is no other peoples American could refer to because the people from the continents are either North American or South American.

    Shit if anything, United Statesians could refer to the United Mexican States. So you’re making it confusing when it wasn’t before.

      My friend, I used words with no intention to offend nor dive into pedantry. I am sorry you find it worth going on about. “America”. There, take it. Please have a good rest of your day, friend.

          You are fuckin ridiculous, you silly United Statesian. This whole exchange is a great example of why most of the world laughs at you.

          Edit: I noticed you said “mate” up there. If you aren’t even from the USA this is even more embarrassing for you.

          You only have 5 accounts? Commoner. Anyway, thanks.

          Edit: Oh, 10 accounts now. Keep downvoting as if anyone cares. Surely you are popular and respected in real life. You know; that thing.
