It's like if there was a country in Europe, named United States of Europe, and they auto call themselves "Europeans", anyone how lived in Europe would be an European, not just people from that country; in the same way, anyone who lives in America(s) is an American not just people from the USA. Todos somos Americanos, desde Canada hasta Argentina, y los Estadounidences no tienen derecho de tomar nuestro nombre. We are all Americans, from Canada to Argentina, and the United Statians have no right to take our name. Thoughts?

I will continue being an American until our President stops addressing us as his "fellow Americans" although I do side with them on the US vs America thing. the only time I say I'm from America is when I speak Japanese because that's their word for the US. in Spanish I say Estados Unidos and in English ofc it's United States

Chrome Favourite Manga Reading is for nerds, yo!	We call them Americans too. That's because 'Amerikaan' is easier to say than 'Verenigde Stater' It's simply what happens. We don't refer to people from the UK as United Kingdomers and people from the UAE as United Arabian Emiratians. That's silly. Heck in my country there's not even a word for a person you have to say Dutch and add person to it. It's either the Dutch or a Dutch person, there's no the Netherlandsian.

FireFox Favourite Manga Fruits Basket	Urban Dictionary, the internets most trusted source for intelligent debate, said no one ever. USA (United States of America) is what it says, states within America that were united, I'm sure we could invent another work for it like those from the United Kingdom are British, that's the name that stuck. But to go into more detail, American is fine to be used because there are terms for those as a collective on the continuant, Canadians and Mexicans aren't American, they are North American, then you have South Americans. Other continents are sometimes split up in this way too, like Europe you sometimes hear East Europe and West Europe. Also pfff Argentina, bunch of trouble makers their government.

For example, in both England and Australia, the only places I've lived, we have two continents in that part of the world, North America and South America. Some countries consider the two just America, which makes anyone on the continent an American. So then I guess I understand the frustration of those from one country sort of claiming the name for themselves. For me personally, seeing how there is no one "America", I'm happy enough just cutting out the "United States of" part to refer to the country.

Google Chrome	IDK, it seems like you can just assume that they mean US when someone says they're American. If they're referring to the continent, they're speaking in an odd fashion. I can't think of any good reason why someone would say which continent they're from instead of which country
