it's not a huge deal and it doesn't even make me mad, but most of the time it is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.
my pet peeve is the people who say: "I love America!"

please let me explain. The United States is the greatest country in the world--not even close!!
I love the United States!

however, when I hear people say 'I love America', my first thought is do they mean North America or South America.

I assume they mean the United States of America. am I just being too literal??

has this always been the saying (a hundred years ago?) or is this a newer version?
