So these are people who live outside of the United States that describe their nationality as "American"? Do any of them live in countries that actually have "America" in the name?

Btw. I'm european, even though I don't live in a country that's even part of the EU (we are part of both the EEA and Schengen area, though)...Norway FTW.

One of my canadian friends likes to raise her hand at big meetings when someone asks if there are any americans there.

[krschultz]

And if your friend had to choose one and only one descriptor between "Canadian" or "American", what would they say?

[hmottestad]

No, she just finds it fun that the US has decided to call themselves by the common name of two continents.

I will propose that Norway call itself the United States of Europe and we start calling ourself europeans and poke fun at the EU.

Wouldn't they be North American?
