[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in law school I did an international mediation skills program in Europe. It was made very clear to us that you never refer to people from the US as "the Americans" to anyone else from the western hemisphere because you will most certainly cause offense. The Americas stretch from Canada to Chile, and everyone who lives here are "Americans." [/quote] Where in Europe? Because I am a European and we have never referred to Canadians as Americans. We know our geography and understand which continent their country is on. It's just not something we do. [/quote]
