You are all a bunch of retarded lunatics. |
|||
To say that America - or a related term - was first used in 1507 by a fucking German is one of the most stupid things I've read in this wikipedia site... and I've read pretty silly things! |
|||
I'll just ask a few questions, for those who are already in the know to laugh at you: |
|||
1) When the Spaniards arrive in Mexico, how were the pepper spices they brought home called by the locals? |
|||
2) What is the source of the name "Mexico"? |
|||
3) Why did some Spaniards still in the XV century refered to Mexico without the "La" definite article, as it stands today? |
|||
4) Is "La América" or "La Mérica" similar to something related to the source of the word Mexico? |
|||
Germans in the discoveries and navigations... funny that! |

Article creation
I proposed creating this article at the Richard Amerike talk page in 2014 and at the Americas talk page in 2015. There being no objections (but equally no agreement), I decided to take the plunge and create this.
I think the Richard Amerike page should be merged here. He is not notable apart from the fact of Hudd's fringe theory.
There is a lot more that could be covered in this article. For example, Amerigo being honoured rather than Columbus.--Jack Upland (talk) 01:12, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- I should note, belatedly, that the merger was reversed due to lack of support.--Jack Upland (talk) 22:06, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

You are all a bunch of retarded lunatics. To say that America - or a related term - was first used in 1507 by a fucking German is one of the most stupid things I've read in this wikipedia site... and I've read pretty silly things! I'll just ask a few questions, for those who are already in the know to laugh at you: 1) When the Spaniards arrive in Mexico, how were the pepper spices they brought home called by the locals? 2) What is the source of the name "Mexico"? 3) Why did some Spaniards still in the XV century refered to Mexico without the "La" definite article, as it stands today? 4) Is "La América" or "La Mérica" similar to something related to the source of the word Mexico?
Germans in the discoveries and navigations... funny that!
