    According to English speakers who didn’t understand the proper meaning of words like “continent,” it’s “Americans.” It’s stuck around now though.

    According to most other languages and nations who use more accurate descriptors, it’s closer to “Statesman.” You know, people from the ‘United States’

      Typical nationalist South American, doesn’t understand that there are countless continental models and none is more correct than the others but still demands English speakers use their languages meaning.

      How about you stop being such a nationalistic little colonial cunt and enforcing your language on others?
