[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, technically, it's not just citizens of the USA that may call themselves Americans, but [b]anyone from anywhere in the Americas, top or bottom. Right?[/b] But... convention. The might of this country has made it such that "American" is now understood to be just for the US. The winners of history get to change even the meaning of words. [/quote] No. There's also the continent thing. In the US we're taught 7 continents. I would call people South Americans, Central Americans (not a continent I know), North Americans. I would only refer to people in the USA as only Americans. Also, people on this thread keep saying they don't care what Canadians think. I think most Americans like Canada a lot and consider them our closest cousins. [/quote] I think we get to refer to ourselves how we want. And I like my cousins and I also like Canada generally but I don’t care what either of them think about what I call myself. [/quote]
