Oddly enough, I had just such a conversation with some Canadian dog folk during my visit to British Columbia last month. I was at a gathering of local fanciers...mostly greyhounders,,,and I asked them if it didn't bother them to have us in the US call ourselves Americans when there were so many other people in the Americas who qualify as well. They all, to a person, said "No, The US are Americans and we are Canadians." At first, I thought they hadn't heard the question correctly so I repeated it in "other words" and received the same reaction. One person asked if I would rather be called a User or an United Statesian which gave me food for thought. I decided that, if they didn't mind, American would suit me fine. I guess the whole world agrees since no one, to my knowledge, has expressed displeasure in our usurping the term.
