In my experience, a lot of people from the United States tend to conflate "America" and the "United States of America". It's a pet peeve of mine, so I sometimes correct them. But usually people just get annoyed with me. ;-)

People from the USA often use "the Americas" in place of the sense of "America" that refers to both North America and South America.
