- kingofpandora 5y ago> The video is not available in my country. I'm in America, but not the correct part of America it seems. In English, "America" unambiguously refers to the United States. I say that as a non-American.
- DrammBA 5y agoNot sure what you mean by "unambiguously" when Merriam Webster[0], Cambridge[1], and Oxford[2] dictionaries have several definitions.

- jonny_eh 5y agoAs an English speaking Canadian, now living in the USA, I concur. "The Americas" refers to the whole super continent.
- DrammBA 5y agoWhat do you mean by "super continent"?
- tantalor 5y ago{North,Central,South} America
- DrammBA 5y agoThose are not super continents.
- newfriend 5y agoYou're being deliberately obtuse. A continent consisting of North+Central+South America would be considered a "Super-Continent". And no one says "I live in America" when they live in Canada. Do you refer to yourself as American? I've never heard anyone refer to a Canadian citizen as "American". Or someone from Mexico as "American". You can link any dictionary definitions you want, but in 99% of cases when people say "America" they mean the US.
