To be fair, the author wrote about tech workers in SV specifically, not about the "overall work with of America" (which btw is a continent, not a country).
The hero arc story is true and has to do with large Protestant population.
- relaxing 2y agoThere is no continent called America.
- em-bee 2y agothey are talking about the americas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas which is sometimes called america. (mostly in non english native countries i suspect)
- pvitz 2y agoNo, certainly the USA (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States). The author is most likely Austrian or German and it is quite common to say "Amerika" for the USA there.
- em-bee 2y agoit is also equally common there to have an argument about that, just like on HN ;-) i was referring to this btw: America" (which btw is a continent, not a country)
- AlchemistCamp 2y agoアメリカ (the romanization of America) is also how the country is referred to in Japanese. There are many languages (including English) that use America as the common name for the United States of America. A notable exception, and where much of the disagreement comes from is Spanish. I generally try to follow the convention of the language I'm speaking.

- dgfitz 2y ago> (which btw is a continent, not a country) North America is a continent. America is absolutely a country. What do you mean?
- AlchemistCamp 2y agoNo. In English, "America" refers to the country, "North America" and "South America" each refer to a continent and "the Americas" refers to the two continents.
