i can still here him... it's like he's still hear

i guess it's like typical double elimination, except first seed automatically wins their matchup against fourth seed

I was also thinking about the continent difference too! With the continents, I feel like an unbiased alien would see them as two different continents, and the one-continent viewpoint (which is fine, by the way) is the culture-dependent one. I feel like the evolution of the word American to refer to just the country isn't supposed to say anything about South America - I think the colonists were too busy distinguishing themselves from Britain.

And if the word "American" suddenly started referring to the entire continent(s) in the English language, then it wouldn't change any perceptions. Trump would not go "Oh yes, our fellow Americans, we must invite all Americans to immigrate into our country", he would (1) change the name back or (2) come up with another name for just the US and only use that word. (I can already imagine him asking Elon Musk to edit all Twitter posts or something.)
