[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is an excellent question! I spend a lot of time abroad and I find it much easier to simply answer that I am from Washington DC. Everyone in every country knows that this is in the US. Replying that I am from America, leads to all sorts of geographical questions. If I answer that I am from the US, I found that that also leads to lots of questions. On another note, I've met many Canadians abroad who interestingly like to answer that they are "North American"...? Your question leads me to another interesting question... Sometimes when I am abroad and meet other Americans from the US, when I tell them that I am from Washington DC, they do not offer to share where from the US they are from. I never gave this much thought or asked about it until now... Does anyone know why another American from the US meets a Washingtonian abroad, that they do not care to share where their own hometown may be?[/quote]
