Expand or Rename?

America inludes Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America too!

Should we remame this rather to “National Geographic’s 50 Places of a Lifetime (USA)”?

After looking at http://www.nationalgeographic.com/traveler/tw/50places.html

I see that this is a fault by the magazine itself and have complained there!

I changed the name to USA

I think it better represents the spirit of the list.

For Americans “America” usually refers to the United States of America. For Americans “the Americas” would refer to all the countries of the Western hemisphere. If one is a cultural pluralist then I think one would agree that people have a right to refer to themselves and their lands as they please. That be saying said "USA’ is certainly unambiguous though less lyrical.

National Geographic should still know better than to use such ethnocentric language
