xccj Posted September 11, 2008 Oh, well then, if a couple of blog entries talk about it, then it must be true... I'm not ignoring the countries in South America or Latin America or Canada, but I live in the United States and I'm still going to call myself American. Quote Link to comment
Noda Miki Posted September 11, 2008 Saying I am an United States of American doesn't sound right. Saying I'm an United Statesian doesn't sound right. Sounds fake. Saying I'm a citizen of the United States of America takes like 30 seconds longer then it should. Quote Link to comment
Nukora Posted September 11, 2008 But I am still American. And yes, the misuse annoys me too. Quote Link to comment
Toaraga Posted September 11, 2008 I never said I wasn't American because the country is part of America. I just said the US isn't America. In before.Haha, coincidence. Saying I am an United States of American doesn't sound right. Saying I'm an United Statesian doesn't sound right. Sounds fake. Saying I'm a citizen of the United States of America takes like 30 seconds longer then it should.Call us "of-ens." It's shorter. ©1984-2008 Toaraga EAM Quote Link to comment
Watashi Wa Posted September 11, 2008 I am America, and so can you. Smeag wins, and you can so. Quote Link to comment
Noxryn Posted September 11, 2008 For the most part the U.S. is North America (Meh, I tend to be suckish at these things ) aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnndddd that make me a North American versus South American, or Central American =P Despite these things I still call myself American... cuz I dun like typing "North" and "United Statesan" is too long, and I just dun feel like remembering the dots in between "U" and "S" =P *Yes I am that lazy =P* Quote Link to comment

And then Greenland can be our thought-bubble 8D KK=- Quote Link to comment
Swert Posted September 11, 2008 Aoran: Our Australian Cousin? XD And yes, Toaraga, we know about the technicality. But to be honest, Latin Americans and South Americans don't necessarily go walk around saying they're American. In fact, we're the only ones who do -Swert Quote Link to comment
Kohaku Posted September 12, 2008 What would that make Australia then? They are our pet. That we keep on a leash. Kohaku Quote Link to comment
Toaraga Posted September 15, 2008 "Proud to be an oven!"And that'll be my new campaign slogan. But then again, I'm more of a dryer man, as seen in my staff photo. ©1984-2008 Toaraga EAM Quote Link to comment
Comment Expired Posted September 15, 2008 What would that make Australia then? They are our pet. That we keep on a leash. Kohaku No, Australia is that tall guy in the group with the broad-brim hat and the crocodile strapped to his back. Quote Link to comment

Queen of Noise Posted September 16, 2008 Oh, and there's nothing wrong with calling the United States of America 'America' for shorthand, or calling its citizens 'Americans.' It is commonly accepted vernacular and to rally against it would not only be futile, but folly. Quote Link to comment
Toaraga Posted September 16, 2008 Who said I'm rallying? Rallying involves effort, and I just don't have that kind of motivation. Oh great, now I'm going to see a face on the East Coast from now on... it really does look as if there could be a face. Freaky. O_o ©1984-2008 Toaraga EAM Quote Link to comment
