     @gnu2 @lxo This is interesting. By dictionary, not only refer to America in the United States of America but also America as continent (North America, South America).

     @me @lxo and if you ever have to take out a dictionary you have already lost. You can be Indonesian and Asian or Brazilian and South American, and I can be American and North American.

     what word do you use to refer to people from the American continent?
     what word do you use to refer to people from USA specifically, so as to make it unambiguously clear you mean from no other American country?
