Really? I've never referred to myself as American. North American perhaps, but never American.


I've run into people who take great offence at not being considered "American" (I remember a bunch of Colombian guys at WWDC a decade or so ago getting particularly annoyed)

The thing is that most people from the US are probably completely unaware that other Americans feel this way


Conversely, though, I've known Canadians who get offended at being called "American".
