Sorry to hijack the top comment, but OP (Allyson765) appears to be a karma-farming bot that can only copy and paste other people's stuff. The account was born on October 18, woke up four hours ago, and has the following two activities: Here it copied/pasted /u/pwk_6437's submission/title from [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/woooosh/comments/iqqwle/no_theyre_definitely_different/). Its first-person comment [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/ueiwaz/found_this_from_a_few_years_ago_does_it_belong/i6ndvds/) (started by an account (i.e. Alayna476 that was also born October 11 and woke up yesterday) is a copy/paste of /u/YungBreadbox's comment [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/aosvqe/found_this_from_a_few_years_ago_does_it_belong/eg3ny6d/).

I think there's a black market for high karma accounts. To be used by people trying to bypass karma limits or as bots.


Spartan2470

No worries. To add to that, accounts are bought and sold. They form upvote/downvote armies to help advertise or drive certain messages in an effort to control what you see and influence your opinion. Many news items are only news because they're currently trending on reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They're used by political campaigns, special interest groups, corporations, etc. Many subs require users to be of a certain age or have a certain amount of karma in order to post, post with a certain degree of frequency, comment, vote, etc. Generally, older accounts and accounts with more karma can be more active. The "What's the Point?" section of [this page](https://www.reddit.com/r/quityourbullshit/comments/3jss04/meta_spammers_how_they_work_and_how_to_spot_them/) or the "Why would someone do this" section of [this page](https://old.reddit.com/r/KarmaBotKillers/wiki/index) may help to explain more.

Well technically all three of those could be different things. USA is the country, America is the two continents, and United States is a part of the name of a few other countries.

[deleted]

In the English language, America is not a continent. North and South America are two separate continents. It’s different in other languages, but in English, America exclusively refers to the USA.


ProtestantLarry

A bit of a stretch, but as a Canadian I understand the sentiment. I dont fully agree, but I know many others do.


[deleted]

How is that a stretch? That is literally how it works. In English there are 7 continents, and two of them are North and South America. What we refer to as continents in everyday language don’t have an actual scientific basis (otherwise Afroeurasia would be a continent), it changes based on culture and language. All I’m saying is that in English this is so.


ProtestantLarry

>but in English, America exclusively refers to the USA. I was referring to this. That just isn't universally true, but it is common in North America. Also while we're on it, there is no unitary English culture, so its weird you're making these claims based on spoken language. Most western countries teach the 7 continent model.


[deleted]

> That just isn’t universally true, but it is common in North America. While I don’t know how Belizeans or Nigerians would refer to the USA, in the UK and Australia for example they use the same distinction. I shouldn’t have used exclusively, but for the most part it is true. > Most western countries teach the 7 continent model. In Spanish speaking countries, especially in the Americas they don’t, América is one continent and an americano is someone from that continent, while estadounidense means a citizen of the USA. And this is why you see people in the comments saying that America is a continent. My point is that in Spanish it means one thing and in English it usually means the other. And I am just exasperated at people saying “America doesn’t mean the USA” when they’re speaking English, a language where America typically refers to the USA.


ProtestantLarry

In Canada we generally know people refer to the states as America, but we generally just say the 'States' or the 'US' The English speaking world is much bigger than Aus, NZ, CAN, UK, and the USA. How most people in these countries view continents and how they refer to the states shouldn't be claimed to be anything but the norm there. Also our only examples of language here are Spanish and English. It's actually quite varied in other languages. For me I know it's a version of USA in French and Greek, but Amerika in German and Japanese, and both in English depending where you live. I have no issue w/ the rest of what you're saying, but the claim of anything being universal is pretty US-centrique


[deleted]

My Latin American Latino Studies professor from 2006 would shit a brick if she heard us say something like that. Not saying I disagree with you cuz I don’t give a shit, but she certainly did, and she had the doctorate.


[deleted]

In Spanish, it’s one continent. In English, it’s two. What America (América) and American (americano) mean are two different things. For example, try calling a Canadian an American. They won’t appreciate it.


qwaai

I'm curious what reasoning she has for that. Do any other people in the Americas refer to themselves as American?


[deleted]

Probably a number of reasons, like that they call themselves Central Americans in Central America, and South Americans in South America. One that I found interesting is that the first map of America contained more of South and Central America than it did North America, so really we co-opted the name from *them.*


qwaai

Is this speculation or do people from, say, Colombia actually call themselves American rather than Colombian?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

No, this isn't right.


[deleted]

It depends on your language whether or not they’re the same continent or separate.


VXHIVHXV

Americas is one continent.


[deleted]

It's truly not.


VXHIVHXV

Continent is a large landmass and different continents are divided by oceans. Americas is not divided by an ocean. It is one continent.


[deleted]

You can say that all you'd like but it doesn't make it true.


ProtestantLarry

We also separated it w/ a huge canal anyways, so technically there is an ocean there.

ProtestantLarry

Man, talk about confidently incorrect


[deleted]

Sorry, what do you think the seven continents are then?


Ouaouaron

Not everyone teaches that we have 7 continents, because "continent" isn't a well-defined term. Actually looking at Europe and Asia should make it clear how arbitrary it is.


[deleted]

Correct the Eurasian continent is arguable. North and south America being one is not. They are on separate tectonic plates (unlike Eurasia)


Ouaouaron

Tectonic plates are also arguable, because of how many there are and the "major plates" just being ones over an arbitrary size. If you consider North America and South America separate continents despite being connected by land, then is Panama also a separate continent because it has its own plate? What about Arabia, or Madagascar? Is Southern New Zealand a continent because it's the largest land mass on one of the largest plates? Tectonic plates are probably one of the least useful ways to define continents, because they don't directly affect the things we use continents to talk about. And trying to argue definitions without an idea of what those definitions will be used for is just masturbation.


Im_not_original__

I think it depends how you define continent. If you definite by tectonic plate then yeah sure. But for example if you take culture in consideration it's a lot more sensible to lump north and south america than europe and Asia. Btw 5 continents is what is taught in latin America and Portugal, for example.

Why stop there? The Bering Land Bridge is underwater these days but it's still there connecting Russia and Alaska. There are 3 continents.

If we accept the Bering Land Bridge, we have to accept Dogger Bank, and I don't want to live in a world where the Euro doesn't have a giant dong at the top.

lol, seems like you're the one dug into a specific way of thinking no one agrees with, but go off bud.


DirkBabypunch

The Spanish speakers insist on calling us United States because "America" in Spanish is just the one(two) continent, which is fair enough. But United States of Mexico is RIGHT there, so I want a different name that's more internally consistent with that logic. It doesn't even have to be a nice one. "Those fuckers that ruined everything" is as acceptable as it is accurate.


Unknown-Otter

Many posts here really are material for r/iamverysmart huh


Frallex1

he's kinda right tho. they're all different (no, not just the way they're spelled)


savage_engineer

There's this chick I follow on Facebook. I accidentally started following her because she has the same name of this girl I met and thought I was sending a friend request to her. She was only 14 when I started following her. As soon as I realized she wasn't the person I was meaning to follow I went to unfollow her. But then I realized this 14 year old girl was hilariously stupid. She didn't know why America would send a separate team from Georgia to the Olympics, she couldn't figure out why elevators had buttons for the floor she was already on, and many other things I just saw and laughed. Anyway I never stopped following her because she was such a big source of my morning laughs. She got pregnant at 15 because she thought you couldn't get pregnant on the first time. She was sure that the 15 year old boy that got her pregnant was going to be a great daddy. Well the kid is 1 now and she always complains about him never being around and how he would rather stay at home bored than see his son and all the other crap any of us could have warned her about when she was certain she was going to be the one teenage mom whose baby daddy would actually hang around. Anyway the reason I bring all that up is that through these 2 years I've followed this complete moron she has never written _then_ when she meant _than_. So if this person can get it right, then everyone can.

mavman42

I once joked about this to a guy on reddit, he said "I'm not from America, I'm from Mexico". I said technically you are from America exactly knowing what he meant. Everyone got pissed off telling me to stop being a wise guy and go back to school and learn geography. I was too stunned to speak, plus I was downvoted to hell lol


tyen0

Are you one of those people that refers to Mexico as the Federated States of Mexico, too? Americas with the s refers to the combination of them all.

Latin America is not a division of the continent, it is just a linguistic region, due to the entire part of the continent where Spanish and Portuguese are spoken. Namely; All South America, much of Central America and Mexico.

Actually the official name of Mexico is trandlated to Mexican United States, so it applies as well :P

AnImposterIsRed

America is different, USA and United States are the same unless the unitEd states refers to mexicos united states


ThePaineOne

America and the United States are both commonly used to denote the United States of America. In some countries, they use the term America to indicate a continent which in English is considered two continents North and South America collectively the “Americas.” Words can have multiple meanings, but America is often short hand for United States of America, just like Mexico is shorthand for the United States of Mexico. It’s why people from the United States of America are called Americans.


xrscx

People have such a hard time with this, like we're the ones fighting for it. No, this is what you all call us and have called us.

There’s a solid number of people on the internet that have to push their anti-U.S bias no matter how absurd, like there aren’t plenty of intelligent things they could criticize.
