Good to know that a British news publication determines the vernacular for everyone around the world. I’ll be sure to refer to bbc.com’s regional delineations before insensitively referring to any part of the world in a manner that may hurt your feelings. Thanks for the tip!
Or maybe I won’t. Maybe I’ll just speak freely with reasonable, organic language that isn’t dictated by cry bullies and false authorities.
You don’t get to tell me how to speak. Sorry if that pains you.
I'm not in or from the UK, I have travelled in three quarters of the 190+ countries about the world.

Speak as you wish, it pains me not.
However, when you say 1+1=5 or that the rest of the world uses the same seppoisms that you do then I quite rightly regard you as more than a little ignorant.
It has nothing to do with ignorance. It’s a perfectly reasonable shortening of USA, which is why everyone, from everywhere, uses it.
People against its use are invariably anti-US, or massively insecure about their less-influential country in the Americas, or are just jerks looking to exert power over others via compelled speech. You seem like you’re all three. We’re gonna keep saying “America”, dweeb.
