      In English, not in general. The continent is called America in lots of languages, but the country is most often referred to as the USA. Because that’s the title the country has chosen for itself.

        Yes, we agree that:

        • The continent is called America
        • The country is called the USA

        What I’m stating is that:

        • The adjective for a USA citizen is “American”
        • It is not USAsian or whatever got said above
