Yes, but I don't think the person I was replying to was referring to America the continent given the context - plus even in that context it would still be more accurate to say North America as Southern/Latin America doesn't share the same cultural identity

I debated whether I should say NA or American, but I figured I don’t know what Canadians use, so there we go. Anyway, nice to see that debate is still alive and healthy. I gave up on it ~20 or so years ago. Writing unitedstatesman was exhausting after a while :)

People in the USA would probably reword that sentence as “And North America is in the Americas.”
It’s similar to how North and South Dakota are called “The Dakotas,” not “Dakota.”
