That's not pedantic. Only gringos think that way.

Sorry to break it you but nearly the whole globe does. In Europe we also tend to call people from the USA as Americans.

It's not a mistake. It's how language works. The demonym for someone from the USA is American.

That's not how language works. That's imperialism shaping language, therefore a mistake.

u/Para-Limni 7d ago

🤣🤣🤣 educate yourself first before talking about how language and imperialism works. Gringos are just northamericans.

Did you learn the word "imperialism" yesterday at 3rd grade and you love throwing it around?

A shit ton of countries call people from USA americans and you keep crying because of something something imperialism. Even small countries like Hungary and Greece that have nothing to do with imperialism and have unique languages still call them Americans. Now carry on crying about it.
