Europeans love to point that stuff out. They always say it with this sort of relish like ‘you call yourselves Americans, but isn’t that the continent name?’

What the alternative, Statesians? US American? Who do they think named it anyway? It’s not like we just made the call - it was their anscestors as much as mine who did it!

I understand there are people who say that while being serious, but just in case I was joking in the same sense as the New Zealand one. I’m sure if we look up real meaning of some old countries names they turn out to be weird or too simple.

Oh yeah sorry if my annoyance seemed directed at your post, that wasn’t my intention. I had to rant because those who are serious and all smarmy about it really grind my gears.
