[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are splitting hairs. North American is accurate, but so is American. [/quote] OP here. When I refer to myself as "American" I am corrected often by Spanish speakers. I'm not trying to split hairs. Mexico is also the United States of Mexico, but no one refers to them (in Spanish) as United Statesers. [/quote] OP, point that Mexican example out to them. Do they call them Mexican? And point out that it is more accurate to say they are North American and South American if they insist on using the word American. I'd let it slide until they tried to correct me, then I'd enjoy pointing out the faults in their logic and nomenclature. I don't always have to be right, unless you try to tell me I'm wrong. [/quote]
