[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a pet peeve of mine. American to describe a citizen of the USA is inaccurate. Perhaps specifying USA would be helpful. [/quote] In Standard American English, the word for "citizen of the USA" is "American". Does this make sense? Not necessarily. But the purpose of language isn't to make sense. The purpose of language is to communicate. However, if you would like to call yourself something else, for example a United Statesian, then go ahead![/quote]
