missing the point...
the question originally posed was what to call someone from the united states of america, not the continents of north and south america. the search is for a name for someone from the USA and only the USA.

american is just so vague.

to call you european is accurate. to call you british more so. etc.

to suggest you may be english? is that not just plain insulting?
