Actually, literally the entire world excepted the US does call them "United States of America", if not only "United States", with traductions of those. The French use "รtats-Unis", often not specifying America, as do the Spanish speaking world with "Estados unidos". And, yeah, we often just say "Germany", 'cause Germany doesn't try to appropriately the name for the entirety of the continent they sit on, like that one weirdo country does.
Absolutely false. In Canada essentially everyone calls them Americans. The country is referred to 99% of the time as one of these three: America, The States, The US.
Oh yeah, the US and the one country next to them, whom they exported all their norms and culture to should definitely be a standard for the entire world, aye?
You can just say you were wrong lol
