Re: I have a question for people living in the USA
Linguistic point of view:
Totum Pro Parte: the whole stands for what is actually only a part:
Continent America --> USA as part of it
(opposite would be Pars Pro Toto)
or also:
Ellipsis: cut out words and thereby shorten your phrase or sentence:
'I am (US) American' or '(United States Of) America'

The official name for the country of Mexico is Estados Unidos Mexicanos. I guess we can add of America as we are also in the continent.
