Maybe I'm just not creative enough.If it was not a commonly accepted reference to the United States of America, there would
be no "America".You would have 'American continents' plural. You would have 'The Americas' plural.
I can't think of a usage that makes sense to collectively refer to people from two
separate continents and a region of land that connects them as 'American'. What am I missing?! ;) Later, Seeker
