No, it is not. The question brings up an important point. Many people habitually refer to the US as America, and it's really not possible to stop that from happening. The truth is that the word America relates to two continents that contain dozensof different sovereign nations. The US is only one of the nations that occupy this part of the world. Latin America is a group of nations where romance languages predominate, and there are countries in this grouping at the south of North America, there are some in Central America, and all the nations of South America.
