American is 1.89.
- mappu 12y agoFor all America, or just the USA?
- guyzero 12y agoNobody from Canada or Mexico would say they are "an American." Americans are residents/citizens of the USA.
- DevoAKA 12y agoNot totally true. I went to school with a lot of Mexicans and they would get verbally upset when I referred to the US as "America". As a Canadian, I could care less but they were very adamant about it.
- josephschmoe 12y agoI feel bad for people from Tijuana, as they are Californian and American but reside in neither California nor America. The titles come from culturally distinct regions.
- mc32 12y agoFor the most part they say "North American," South American or "Latin American" even "Anglo Saxon America" for North America not including Mexico, go figure.
- deciplex 12y agoYou will never reverse this oddity of English vocabulary, no matter how much you bellyache about it on the Internet. Sorry that basic lingual fact contradicts your sense of fairness or whatever. If it helps, you can think of "American" as shorthand for "American of the United States". If that doesn't help, I suggest you just get over it.
