sheesh when will people get that? :roll:
That's the way it's been implied to us in the rest of the world for a long time... "Americans" come from USA, then you have "Canadians", "Puerto Ricans" etc etc... there's no such thing as a "USofAn", so (at least in NZ) we use "American".

May be we should ask George Bush. He *may* be able to provide us with some answers.
