Why do we call Angleterre England?

Why do we call USA America?

The better question would be why can't they speak promer American like the rest of the world. Their country is called Japan, they should get used to that.

Why do we call Moscva Moscow?

>>10727970
>speak promer American
You can't speak American, fuckface.

>>10727978
Right, I meant proper. My bad.

>>10727978
That's American spelling, dumass.

Why do we call the middle states, "China"?

Well, for Japan, it's a long and convoluted story, going back to Marco Polo, who learned of the island nations from the chinese, who called it Cipangu. Cipangu mutated to Zipangu, mutated to Jipang, mutated to Japan.

Why do we call Eire Ireland?

Why is Europa called "you're up"?

Why do we call the REAL China "Taiwan"?

Why do we call Corea Korea?

>>10728037

>>10728044
Since a couple of rouge far-right janitors were put into power

>>10728049
change is left, right is conservative

>>10728058
They want us to work and hate discussions about government assistance.

>>10728058
Far-rightists are not conservative.

>>10727964

You're right. We should call the USA by it's true name based on territory: the World.

>>10728073

Typical Fuckistan education.

>>10728105
Because American English is the standard form of English for most countries.

>>10728118
Not really. Most places that were part of the English empire still uses UK English.

>>10728129

What exactly are some key differences between American and UK English? Also, is Canadian English more similar to American English or UK English?

>>10728131
There is a shift key on both sides of the keyboard.

>>10728129
And that's what, India, Australia, and a couple of African countries? Do humans even inhabit those countries?

>>10728131
You aren't even arguing with facts, you fucking 'tard. Just stop posting please, you're making a disservice to your fat comrades.

/pol/ is everywhere, watching your every move.

>>10728094
I can confirm that at least Russians and Canadians do.

Why are Americans so defensive?

>>10728187
Why do Finnians think that Americans are defensive?

>>10728167

Someone left the door open and they just came in. Moot needs to make some kind of lockable doors for all the boards. When things start getting bad he can just lock it down and nobody can leave until things settle down. It would solve alot of problems.

learn the difference.

>>10728197
nigga, im not in school anymore so who the fuq cares

>>10728197
>mfw when Europe calls The New World "America"

>>10728197
Ask any one who an American is and they will all tell you the same thing. Facts do not always equate to social truth no matter how hard you non-factor nations want them to be. Sure in truth we are not Americans but the world makes us them.

This jokes asks why people from the US are called Americans, while calling them Americans.

moot should transform 4chan in a free2play FPS MMO. Every board has it's own world and if outsiders try to get in they get shot on sight.

>>10728197
The last one is the Americas, plural, since it's both North and South America.

>>10728237
/jp/ would shoot Danmaku and would only have female character options.

>>10728246
Make it happen.

>>10728025
Fuck off capitalist scum

>>10728239
>Americas
hahaha

>>10728267
Stay poor, Yurup.

>>10728267
What are you laughing at? That's the proper term. If you just say America, chances are, you are referring to the US.

>>10728246
That would be so much fun

>>10728273
You are so indebted to China and without next world war you are going to be that way.

>>10728290
Our debt to China is the only reason a major war hasn't broken out. They don't want to attack us as long as we owe them money because it would allow us to just get rid of the debts.

>>10727956
>this thread
>no real answers
We call it Japan because a long ass time ago a bunch of European explorers thought there was a mythical island east of China that was covered in gold. They called this island Zipang. In Japanese, it'd be pronounced じぱん, and after sufficient time the name morphed to Japan.

>>10727956
test

>>10728296
It was already answered, and this is way wrong.

>>10728296
>Japan
No, I'm pretty sure Japan comes from the Chinese jih pun, which means sunrise. As in the land of the rising sun and all that.

The fight is over. Go to sleep.

>>10728294
That's why you want to attack China and clean your debt you huns.

>>10728305
No one said that America ever had plans to attack China. America was one of the first nations to recognize the People's Republic as a nation.

>>10728307
Big surprise. Stay the fuck out and pay the debts, capitalist pigdogs.

>>10727960
Because ``Angle'' is a shorthand of ``anglophone'', so ENGlish and ``terre'' is french for ``LAND.''

>>10728315
Economy exists because there's debt. Anyway, stop it already.

>>10728323
>economy exists because there's debt
Stay capitalist, die a capitalist

>>10728332
I have to go out to the grocery store to buy some milk and cookies. When I come back you'd better drop this shit.
