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.
