It’s not about size. It’s the fact that the United States of America has the word “America” in it. And I don’t refer to the US as “America” (unless I’m being cheeky, though in those cases, I spell it 'Murica), but I do refer to people from the US as “American”.
And I know this is all kinda pedantic. I just think it’s fun to talk about words. I get the feeling you read some snark into my pervious comment, but that really wasn’t my goal.

I’m just being a little pedantic here, but Canada is only about 100k miles or so bigger than the US and much more of Canada is unlivable unless you count Texas as being unlivable, because I do.
There’s also about 10x as many Americans as Canadians.

I’m just being a little pedantic here, but miles are only a unit to measure distance not area.
