Yeah,

why do people from the united states not have a name in english?

Another thing I notice is that

Brits say "have you got"

and Americans say "do you have"

 

This thread is pretty off topic now. :P

We're called Americans. :uhoh:

I may speak English, but I want everyone to realize that Christmas Islandian is my native tongue.

We're called Americans. :uhoh:

I'd always take that as the continent ( north American ) :shrug: you know?

You're from there, you probably know better :laugh4:

We're called Americans. :uhoh:

 

Yes, but you shouldn't be, because America is a continent, not a country!:P

People from Canada = Canadians

People from United States of America = Americans

People from Mexico = Mexicans

etc.

:shrug:

"Have you got" should be banned, as it's very confusing for non-native English speakers.;)

^ I agree with that

Yes, but you shouldn't be, because America is a continent, not a country!:P

 

But there is no continent called "America." North America and South America are the continents.

I say both

"Do you got?":confused:

People from Canada = Canadians

People from United States of America = Americans

People from Mexico = Mexicans

etc.

:shrug:

I'm both, what should I say?

 

"Do you got?":confused:

Just shout PEN! at people, really scream it.

I'd say they'd give you one.

But there is no continent called "America." North America and South America are the continents.

 

But together, they're known as "the Americas"!;)
