Recently I came to know that most of the People of Pakistan dont know the Basic Difference in America and USA. The Famous Slogan in Pakistan is " Jo kuch kara raha hai Amrika kara raha hai".
But interestingely Our TV anchors, Our Writers and No Intellectuals ever Differntiated that actually there is a difference in USA and America.
So here i want to tell the Basic Difference.
So America is Divided into :
North and South America.
South America basically Constitutes Twelve Countries with other dependancies including:
Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

North America:
There are 17 basic countries in North America mainly which includes.
Canada, The United States of America, Mexico, Greenland, Iceland,Guatemala,Belize, Nicaragua, Honduras,El Salvador,Costa Rica,Panama,Cuba,Haiti, Jamaica, The Bahamas, The Dominican Republic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America
-----------------------------------------------------
So basically North and South America Constitutes more than 30 Countries out of which One is Known as USA ( United States of America ) and that is what Pakistanis are referring it to..
So From now on please do a slight correction that there is a Difference in USA, North America, South America and we should be able to differntiate between all these terms and we should convey this message to our intellectuals as well to teach our local public about it as well.
