OMG, how could I have forgotten that the country taking up less than a quarter of two continents, both called America, called dibs on “American”? Sorry Beta #1. I shall discard the fact that there are 34 other countries which use the demonym “American”.
I didn’t know geographical size denoted who gets to claim being called Americans. You’re arguing in bad faith and you know it, because you know no one else in the world calls anyone else Americans except for people from the United States of America. It’s silly to argue otherwise, I’m not saying anything controversial here.
People love being anti-american contrarians on the internet even if it means being abhorrently wrong.
you can just say Americans people, everyone will know who you’re talking about USA.
Fixed this for you. Kind of a pet peeve of mine when people use ‘defaults’, like everyone on the internet are in America, or if you’re talking to someone from a capital of a different country they will assume you’re also in the capital, everyone lives in America timezone, everyone using English uses en_US locale, and if by some bizarre chance you’re in another country you can only switch language and country together, etc
Why do people keep saying USAmericans? It looks and sounds stupid, you can just say Americans, everyone will know who you’re talking about .

Because USians didn’t stick, but their pompousness continued on. E: in the form of saying usamericans
I prefer burgerlanders personally.
Most xenophobes do.
^worlds lamest attempt at insulting someone.
Not an insult, just a description
Ask someone from South America
Does anyone else in the world call them Americans? No and you know it
