It's for the same reason why Chinese don't call themselves Democratic Repuplic of Chinese or Germans call themselves Federal Republic of Germans. The fact remains that "America" is part of the countries name and so most people around the globe leave out the ambiguous, long formalities, since a lot of countries have "united" and "states" in one form or another.

Also, "America" is a homonym, depending on context it can refer to the continent, the people, the country or citizens of the US.

you have just made my day!

[LeCigouave]

I'm calling shenanigans on your little claim. The average American is fully aware that Canada is our country's maple-scented hat.

I was watching the street light :/

[KingDragon6815]

wanna have a bet? most people from the usa are too dumb (and especially fat) to even know that Croatia is a country.

[Jen H]

90% of 'Americans' actually do think they take up the entire part of North America. I've met my fair share of Americans, I should know. When I tell most that I'm from Canada, they almost always ask, 'Really? Wheres that?' Heh, pretty funny how they are not so edge-u-makated.

I remember that. It was retty fucking cooool.
