I generally disagree with everything else you’re saying but something that hasn’t been called out is that The Indies was never used to refer to India, the country. In current day, there’s the West Indies, which are annoyingly next to North America. In the past, East Indies or ‘The Indies’ referred to the greater Indian peninsula, but not the country itself, and not West Indies. By using this example, you’ve highlighted a flaw in your argument that the term ‘America’ has to encapsulate North America and South America, as ‘The Indies’ doesn’t even encapsulate West Indies.

I drive a 2024 VW GLI 6MT, bought it as the best bang-for-buck MT available new. Fantastic car all around. What I wish I drove is my dream 2-car garage. The first would be a classic Cooper S, or any decent Miata, or any decent Boxster. MT on all of them. The second would be a Giulia Q4, or Volvo S60, or an Audi RS2. Any combination of these is dream material for me.
