Ahem. ![]() I'd be popping in more often, but my house-move is rather imminent now so I don't really have the time. Hopefully I'll be participating more regularly next month! ![]() |

Buddy, I don't know what they teach you in school over there, but America is a continent, not a country - hence, Canadians, Peruvians, Mexicans, United Staters, Brazilians = Americans.
And obviously I meant why don't more that 4 (I stand corrected, Hemulen) users out of the massive non-American contingent on PA visit the place.

The word American refers to a citizen of the United States, though, and inhabitants of any of those other countries fine it pretty offensive to be lumped with that. ![]() |

We here can refer to both the United States and the whole continent of North America (and their respective populations) when saying "America" (and "Americans"). We should probably make it more clear to which we are referring, but you also should be aware of this.

I know, I've had that discussion with many Europeans and they simply don't see it the same way we do. Canadians can be called North Americans, but not Americans.

This statement seems a bit too generic to me. I agree with this. Calling Canadians Americans seems to me as if maples are mistaken for oaks.
