Since we are airing our pet peeves, I will voice this one. Unless you are a citizen of a country in Asia, Europe, Africa, Austrailia or Antartica... you ARE an American.
Everyone who identifies themselves as American on documentation provided to me gets it returned and told to put the country of which they are a citizen. America is not a country. United States is not a country [If our friends to the south in Mexico claimed to be US citizens, they would be telling the truth!]. USA or United States of America IS a country.... it shouldn't go by any other name.
I HATE (Strong word, I know) when one country claims the name of two continents as their own. A citizen of the USA calling themselves American is like someone walking on train tracks!
