Here in Brazil, there is a rise on the use of "estadounidense', which would be like united-statian. I don't see that working in English, though. |

What do you call yourself if you live in the USA? |

Ok thanks. Still sucks though... it's not even really the name of our own COUNTRY!!! |

Apparently not. |

Your country is called the United States of America. |

First off calling yourself an American is fine. Every one knows an American is from the USA. Ever read the name, the United States of AMERICA. America is the name of our country. We are the United States of America. People call us Americans because we are from America. |

Yes, they do. That doesn't make it right, though. People just accept it, but dislike it. |

I understand what you're saying, but essentially it just bugs me that when we say we're Americans it really isn't a unique designation of a country. Canadians are Americans... so are Mexicans. |

If you live on the North American continent, you are North American. |

lol, nice Spart, though the eagle swooping down over that beaver looks kind of scary. |
