Don't kid yourself. If Constantinople could be renamed Istanbul after 1400 years, and Rhodesia could be renamed Zimbabwe, then this is possible, too. If Siam, Formosa, Ceylon, East Pakistan, Peking, Bombay, Calcutta, Almaty, Saigon, and Bangalore could all be renamed Thailand, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Beijing, Mumbai, Kolkata, Nursultan, Ho Chi Minh City, and Bengaluru, then this is definitely possible. The forefathers didn't know jack shit about geography. Most people period didn't until a man by the name of Immanuel Kant came along.
I didn't say you couldn't rename it, just that there was no need too.
I'm just saying that the term American used as a title for a person from the USA is not really wrong. It just applies to all countries from Canada to Chile. So if something needs changed, the so call USA Americans should be referred to as Statians, or maybe just resurrect the old name of Yanks. That would probably not be acceptable to the southern people though.
What do you think would be a good name to rename the United States?
