[quote=Anonymous]2 issues: we have 7 continents in the USA that we learn about- North America and South America are different. In South America, they only have 1 American continent and consider themselves "Americans" the way all the people on the European continent consider themselves "Europeans." I didn't understand this because I would call them "South Americans." The other issue is that in Spanish, they call us "estadounidense." There's a similar word in French. There isn't a word in English for "United Stateser," which is why many people say American. United Stateser is what they want us to call ourselves, but it doesn't translate. I absolutely call myself an American. It's in our name. Mexico is actually "The United States of Mexico" but no one is telling them they can't be just Mexicans.[/quote]
