 Definitely. Canadians are a bit touchy about it. USAian just never caught
on.  Then, as you say, there is the entire continent. If the USA wasn't
the 500 pound gorilla it might be like saying Africa. I assume most people
in the world can find the USA on a map where Guyana, Belize, Honduras, and
so forth would be a stretch.

Indeed. My knowledge of anything south of Mexico barring Argentina Peru and Brazil is decididely sketchy.
