Got into a discussion (argument) on another post about No. 5, “Calling the USA America”.

I’ve lived in South America. Never heard anyone refer to themselves as an “American”. They would however ask if I was from America, or was an American.

And if you ask where they want to visit, it’s America.

FWIW Also never heard Canadians refer to themselves as Americans.

Do Mexicans in the U.S. refer to themselves as American? They probably self identify as Mexicans, though they are Americans, North Americans at that.
