Everyone in the Americas who isn’t in the USA has given up trying to explain to them. They aren’t capable.
Nobody in Canada wants to be called American.
This is a language and continent model issue, the lack of understanding is not in the side of the Americans or the rest of the anglosphere.
And what if they decided to start calling themselves Earthlings and use it to describe only themselves specifically?
Neither.
I’m embarrassed because I can’t call myself American as a Canadian because it’s self-deprecating by association.
