Edit: And to be actually on topic, yes, playing a game with a clearly mostly English speaking audience while not speaking English is practically trolling. No communication = one more in the loss column. Granted, this can happen with other English speaking teammates as well, but it's almost guaranteed to happen if your teammates are, say, Italian.

To find the actual meaning of the word in question (America), all one has to do is follow the conversation.

I was responding to this comment by isuk: Did you guys know America is the only country to use English? Just like only Mexicans speak Spanish.

The term was defined at the start (for I REPLIED to his statement). He is referring to America the country.

Therefore, if you take offense with the use of the word, take it up w/ the original statement.

Lastly, it IS perfectly justifiable to use America as a refrerent to the USA. Just because a word has more than one meaning...does not mean that it must be X meaning. It depends on context.

Apparently, you were not aware that America, the word...could also be used to refer to the USA. The United States of America, even refers to itself as America and its citizens as "American Citizens". US companies who manufactur products...stamp on them "Made in America". Items that are made in MX...say "Made in Mexico" and those in Canada..."Made in Canada".

It would appear then, that it is YOU...who needs to either stay in school...or go back.
