   No, Robert, it has nothing to do with any agenda, and yes, Robert, it
matters very much not only who says they care, but also how they say it.

 RC> Historically, the word is used in a negative connotaion.

   The history written by whom?

 RC> This has been repeated explained to you,

   No, it has not been explained to us. It has been shoved down our
throats, and that's a big difference.

 RC> This is nothing but a strawman.  There is no ambiguity in this or any
 RC> English echo.

   This is nothing but the usual arrogance. We know that to *you* it has no
ambiguity, and we also understand that that's because to you, there is
nothing else worth mentioning on the American continent, than the US.

   To the non-English speaking world, and especially to the Latin family of
languages, America does *not* default to meaning USA.
