    The one continent model in South America goes way back, as originally “America” referred to Central and South America since the north wasn’t fully explored yet. Back in the late 18th and early 19th century they would call themselves American to indicate a cultural distinction with the Spanish in Europe. I remember reading in a journal from a British Sailor in 1820 Chile that people would call themselves American more often than Chilean. Same when he visited Peru around that time.

    América is not a country or nation. Therefore, 'American' isn't a nationality or citizenship. An American is from the Continent of América! The United States of América (U.S.A.) has a simple, basic, generic name which simply means STATES, that are UNITED, on the Continent OF AMÉRICA. Not América of the United States! It's what the Founding Fathers & authors of the U.S.A. meant, and still means.

It only shows that if you start from the lowest value and go east, and the numbers increase, that line is where it will go down again.

    You are 100% correct. Countries in América have easy names to understand, at least for me. Countries in América are not named the Canada of América, the México of América, the Panama of América, the Colombia of América, the Belize of América, the Argentina of América, the Suriname of América, the Chile of América, the United States of América, wait. Hold on, that one doesn't work. Why? Because the United States of América (U.S.A.) is one of those countries. The United States of América (U.S.A.) has a simple, basic, generic name which simply means STATES, that are UNITED, on the Continent OF AMÉRICA. Not América of the United States! It's what the Founding Fathers & authors of the U.S.A. meant, and still means.

    I live in southeast Texas and I have worked in about 17 nursing facilities, so I meet lots of Texans only on a daily basis. I've never heard of soft drinks being called "coke," but I've heard them called "soda water" a lot. It's very strange. When I first had a patient ask for a "soda water, " I honestly thought that they wanted me to mix soda and water together. I am from northeast Kansas and it's common to refer to them as "soda" or "soda pop" in my experience.

    Technically, I'm 1/4 Sorb (or Wendish as those who immigrated to Texas and their descendants call themselves - The Wends of Texas). The community originally remained close knit, so when my grandfather was born, the community was still marring within the community; though by that time the speaking of Sorbian/Wendish had long been replaced by German, which had also long been replaced by English, by then (the language spoken was influenced by the Lutheran Church and how the synod they belong to the Pastors initially preached in German before changing to English as English become more popular among the descendants of both the Germans and the Wends).

    How does this demographic argument lead to the conclusion that there's just America, not North and South America? In English, American is the demonym for the United States of America, noting their nationality and/or permanent residence. Most Americans don't consider themselves ethnically "American", hence the association with other groups (German, Native American, African-American, etc.) The demonym for the continents would be "North American" and "South American". Demographic association is merely the consequence of one's geographical and linguistic understanding (anglophones hold to the seven continent model).

    When looking at a globe or at a map whose projection imitates a globe, it's not hard to realize that Alaska in general is midway between the US or Canadian east coast areas (including New York, Boston, Washington DC, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax) and Japan/Korea. And the very westernmost Aleutian Islands that were occupied by the Japanese during World War II are closer to Japan/Korea than to the Alaskan Panhandle! Furthermore, Hawaii is almost midway between the North American east coast and either Asia or Australia/New Zealand. Going to either Alaska or Hawaii from the North American east coast is about the same time/distance as from the N. American east coast to Europe, albeit in the opposite direction.

    Carbonated drinks are flavouring combined with soda water, hence 'soda'. Soda water also sounds like it's popping if you put your ear near it (the same reason we in the UK call them fizzy drinks) hence the term 'pop'. Don't know what the hell the people in the south are snorting though, probably coke.

I can definitely confirm we call most any soft drink coke in the south.
