I wondered about the "We are Americans" issue and learned Canadians
call themselves "North Americans"or Canadians and Mexicans call themselves "Mexicans'. I would say "Americans" is an ok contraction of "United States of Americans". I haven't heard anyone from Canada or Mexico object, although I can appreciate that you may have. If challanged, offer the contraction mentioned above. On Feb 2, 6:10 pm, "Morgans" wrote: "Jay Honeck" wrote And I'm still waiting to see evidence that I'm wrong about freedom in America. Jay, (and everyone else) something you wrote makes me want to post a little info, and although it can be classified as Politically Correct BS, I think that once you think about it, you will agree that it has merit, and you might want to at least try to change. I've been fairly active with the foreign exchange program here, and have had one South American student stay with me, and have know some of the other South American exchange students. They have pointed out that we citizens of the U.S. call ourselves Americans, as if we are the only ones who should be using that expression, and we use it as an expression of our nationality. They are also Americans, whether they are from Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, or wherever. So, be accurate and use from "The United States" instead of "Americans." -- Jim in NC |
