Wanikani’s update for **全米** , limiting the meaning to only USA and not other parts of America, is **wrong**. The previous meaning, which seemed vague, was actually more accurate. According to several dictionaries I consulted, 全米 has 2 different meanings: 1. all USA 2. North and South America Generally, 米国 is a term that is best not used, because it is unclear. (The same goes for “all America” in English). But because it exists, Wanikani users should be aware of both meanings. Why did you at WK do this? It seems somewhat “Trumpian”. Is there now アメリカ湾 too?
