Nothing rude please Anyway me cousin who is a full blown Argie
reckons she is American as well, because America IS a continent not a country. One divided into north and south but a continent nevertheless.When ol' CC landed wherever he wasnt thinking "well that bit over there shall b e called America",its the whole shooting match. Capiche? So i reckon cousin makes a very good point therefore what does one call the citizens of the US. Latinos call them gringos but the gringos dont like it because they thinks its disrespectful. The other alternative is estadosunidenses which is a hell of a mouthful.So what do we call them? See i was talikng to this yank the other day and told him some of us call them Septic Tanks which he didnt like. Thought it disrespectful Anyway waht would be apolite term for them?I refuse to call them Americans from now on. Unitedstatesians?
