I don't think that the actual incidence of the use of "American" to mean "US Citizen" is what bothers me, but that we never developed our own "name" for our country. As if we needed one.... It really does come down to not hurting feelings... Do many USAmericans even care?

Anyway - you would have a difficult time making me angry because you have so quickly endeared yourself to me (and I'm sure to others). It's good to hear you discuss something so close to your heart.
Ah, thanks. And yes, I guess every country has its "idiotsyncracy"
