The UN doesn't regulate other people's use of the language, rmnunez. Face it - people of the US are referred to as American by the majority of the world, and nothing you say or do will win this argument. Haven't you gotten this 'gringan' thing out of your system yet? Makes you sound like a pompous ass, and is getting the hackles up of many a poster here, which is a shame, because I personally enjoy reading your arguments & thinking through ways to refute you. It may be all about pride, but if you want, we'll refer to you as an American too.


I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
