Because America is only North America?
- Yes moron, that is colloquially what it means
  
  And there is no causal relation between the discovery of these
  Edit: Also: the meme is about potatoes and tomatoes which come from around central America. They aren't USA exports. The meme is about the discovery of America as in the Americas
  
  He didn't introduce potatoes or tomatoes to Europe either, that happened decades later.
  
  But as a consequence
  
  By this reasoning it was actually the Queen of Spain that 'discovered' the Americas, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  
  It was Columbus who thought the earth is small enough to circuit it
  
  And it doesn't matter, because what is up for dispute is what people mean when they say America. Which is North America, regardless of the actual facts. That's what colloquial means
  Pay attention to what is actually being discussed before running your mouth to make yourself sound smart.
  
  Context matters. When it's about the discovery of America, it's the double continent since north and south America were not discovered separately. They are one landmass
  Edit: Also you were the one saying "actually America is Nort America so Columbus didn't discover the real America". Think about the context before trying to sound smart
  
  Not in the real world where U.S.-centric dumbasses live in their own reality and force everyone else to go along with it with guns and nukes.
  You and I both know the term America applies to both continents, but to the NPCs, it doesn't. That's literally what colloquialism is -- what NPCs say, and that is what was up for dispute. Not the actual facts of the matter.
  Edit: Also you were the one saying “actually America is Nort America so Columbus didn’t discover the real America”. Think about the context before trying to sound smart
  No, no, you're clearly confusing me with the other guy because you are angry I called you out on trying and failing to sound smart. Breathe in through your nose, hold 4 seconds, breathe out with your mouth, and read the screen names again.
  
  To be clear: in most cases I too use America synonym with USA but to say "Columbus discovered the USA", well, ...
  
  It's a good thing no one is claiming Columbus discovered the USA then, isn't it?
  Or are you that pathetic and desparate to win an argument on the Internet that you need to use that blatant of a strawman?
  No one here is fighting or trying to win anything except you. Grow the fuck up.
  
  The argument started when I talked about Columbus discovering America and someone said "he never was in north America". Then you called me a morron for pointing out that America is more than just north America
