America Correct!
I enjoy the game, but I think many answers which are correct are not accepted. One notable example: Countries ... Letter A ... You do not accept AMERICA as a correct answer!!! That is inconceivable!
Apparently you assume that only "the United States" is correct. (Just like The Netherlands has a second correct name, Holland, America has more than one correct name. Some people assume that "America" is referring to the CONTINENT. Not so!!!! Just as there is Africa, the continent, and South Africa, a COUNTRY which includes the name of Africa, there are different uses of the word "America."
North America - continent.
South America - continent.
Central America - region.
THE Americas - the whole region that includes the continents.
America - the country that consists of 50 states, united together to form the nation called America. This is why the states are called the United States of America.
They are located on the North American continent, but they are NOT called the United States of North America! When we say the name of our nation, the continent is NOT included in the name! North America is simply the continent where America is located! The country itself is called the United States of AMERICA, the USA, the US of A, the US, the States, and mostly just America. All of our patriotic songs are about America, the country, not North America the continent! "America the Beautiful" .. "God Bless America" etc. These are all songs about the nation of America, not the continent of North America.
