        And it doesn’t matter, because what is up for dispute is what people mean when they say America. Which is North America, regardless of the actual facts. That’s what colloquial means

        Pay attention to what is actually being discussed before running your mouth to make yourself sound smart.

            Not in the real world where U.S.-centric dumbasses live in their own reality and force everyone else to go along with it with guns and nukes.

            You and I both know the term America applies to both continents, but to the NPCs, it doesn’t. That’s literally what colloquialism is – what NPCs say, and that is what was up for dispute. Not the actual facts of the matter.

            Edit: Also you were the one saying “actually America is Nort America so Columbus didn’t discover the real America”. Think about the context before trying to sound smart

            No, no, you’re clearly confusing me with the other guy because you are angry I called you out on trying and failing to sound smart. Breathe in through your nose, hold 4 seconds, breathe out with your mouth, and read the screen names again.

                It’s a good thing no one is claiming Columbus discovered the USA then, isn’t it?

                Or are you that pathetic and desparate to win an argument on the Internet that you need to use that blatant of a strawman?

                No one here is fighting or trying to win anything except you. Grow the fuck up.
