Honorable Billy Bob, it should be we Americans. In other words, better than we Americans do. Please accept my correction in the spirit it was given -- to be of utmost help and support. I am sure that you will kindly return the favor one day soon :-)
However, posting as Congressman Billybob I made a different error. It should have been "us'ns" rather than "us" perhaps. The grammar of bad grammar is not well established.
