   Europe has no money.

      And yet, more USians move to my "poor" country than the other way around. Make of that what you will.

         The demonym is American, not whatever you wrote. Unless your poor country is New Zealand, that's not the case.

            Being pedantic America is the continent. So a chilean should be as "American" as Donald Trump.

               No, it isn't. Everyone knows exactly what "American" means and it's never a Chilean.

                  You know English is defined by its usage right? If people start using a new term such as USAian, or American to refer to everyone from the continent...that's what will be. There is no central authority to tell us how to use English correctly.

                  Anyway. New world order. USA hegemony is going way.

                  I guess USAians are beginning to find out how we in the UK felt about the loss of our empire.
