[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not saying ‘American’ to refer to people from the US is not new. It does rankle all others on our continent. I learned this in the early 80s. Also calling anyone not from the US ‘foreign’ is a uniquely US phenomenon, as in foreign students. Better to say ‘international’ student. [/quote] +1, also remember this being taught in the 80s. It's a distinction between everyday speak and accurate writing. We'd also be dinged if we referred to the Soviet Union as Russia.[/quote] Same to all above. But also English when British was the more accurate term.[/quote]
