    Look one comment up and read carefully and then my comment should make sense if you have both halves of your brain. Which was also a hint.

      Oh, I see. You think it’s ambiguous when people call the only country with America in its name, that people frequently call America, America.

      Do you likewise think it was a good idea to rename the gulf? It is, after all, much more the gulf of America than the Gulf of Mexico, right?
      Although, considering it’s mostly bordered by the United States of America, and the United Mexican States I suppose it would also make sense to call it the Gulf of the United States.

      Or you could just recognize that it’s normal to shorten a name to the most distinctive word if the name is long.

          Your comment had six words, and none of the significant ones seemed particularly related to the comment you referenced. You’ll have to forgive people if they can’t sus out you meaning from six words.

          Is it that you think Canada and Chile do live a more authentic human experience? Ooh, as a twist do you think they do manage to be poor, unsuccessful, and also morally worse than Americans?
          That’d be an interesting twist compared to the asinine pedantry that hinges on being weird about one or two words im looking forward to.

          So please, maybe make it a bakers dozen, and have some of the words actually reference the subject or object of your ire.

          Or I’ll just take you literally. “Not fond of the province layout”, “Hudson Bay is hard to get to”, “bad aspect ratio”, and “entirely consisting of mountains makes a cohesive transportation network of any type really hard”. That’s what’s really wrong with Canada and Chile.

            So I got to “and none of,” before I stopped. Just want you to know I didn’t get the rest of your message, but it’s definitely received. Have a great rest of your life.
