You do know that "American" is shorthand for citizen of the USA in everywhere else in the world, right?

  Like the word "Yankee". Both words seem to rub some people the wrong way.

    Personally, I avoid using the words "American" or "America", as they can be ambiguous: are you talking about the country, or the continent?
