    Thank you; I didn’t know that. You do have a rather big country and I still sort of wonder if it is universally recognized. Again, just going by never having seen them in movies. Maybe United Statesians aren’t just fictional characters in movies. We’ll never know.

        No offense intended. I have been to a lot of countries in the Americas and the US (despite being rather big) is not really a place I go to. So when I specify like that, it is from my own experience (and—you know—actual geography and stuff) and I am a little bit sorry to have apparently offended.

        Edit: that sounded sarcastic because it was a bit, but really, I didn’t intend to offend. Sorry, let’s be friends.

            My friend, I am open to suggestions. “American” with like 100-ish countries in it doesn’t really narrow it down for me. Peace and love and all that stuff.

              Mate, there is literally only one country with America in it’s name.

              Furthermore in a 2 continent Americas model, there is no other peoples American could refer to because the people from the continents are either North American or South American.

              Shit if anything, United Statesians could refer to the United Mexican States. So you’re making it confusing when it wasn’t before.
