America is a continent not a country.

Technically anyone living in North or South America should be called an American.

USA citizens should be called...USAians =D

It's Amerigo, not Americo. And typing in all caps is considered spam.

Both North and South America are called the Americas
Americas inhabitants = Americans
North America = North Americans
USA = whatever state your living in e.x californian, kansan
because its the United States of both continents America
other countries...whatever it usually is like columbian or canadian

I'm not gonna call myself myself a North American, under any circumstances. Sure, it may be a technicality or something, whatever, but that's just it, if I gotta take a choice of two titles, I'm sticking with Canadian.

Ha, this is the most interesting Forum, yet. All these people arguing over the simple truth! America is a Country. End of discussion. There is no arguing with it. The continents may be recognized as North America and South America. But the Country; The United States of America, named itself after the Northern continent in which they settled! Soon, thereafter, the U.S.A became known widely as America, or as The Americas. That's the simple truth!
