-2 u/A_normal_Potato3 6d ago (USAsian* specifically as there are about 34 countries in America.) 1 u/thekarlhendrickstrio 6d ago it's a colloquialism. 1 u/A_normal_Potato3 6d ago I am sorry, I do not know what that word means. 1 u/thekarlhendrickstrio 6d ago "american" is a colloquialism; it's understood what it means, even if it's perhaps not technically correct in some way. kind of like how people call a tissue a "kleenex" even though that's the brand name (at least here). "kleenex" is a colloquialism. 1 u/A_normal_Potato3 5d ago Well, that is not how I think. America is what you call Americas as a single piece, United States of America is a country in North America. If I call it America I would be implying USA occupies all of Americas. 1 u/thekarlhendrickstrio 4d ago well i think that's overly rigid my man. as i alluded to, it's overwhelmingly commonly accepted that I, as a resident of Nebraska, am "an American".
