18. Thanks for all the funny answers
I appreciate the self irony.

About this answer I must appreciate the sincerety, and I do. I think SOteric got my point on the cumbersome of US citizen, but he/she is still bit too innocent on 'American'. If every other American nation except US has to be called by name other than "American" and US people remain the lingistically "default Americans", what does that mean for continuation of Monroe Doctrine and Big Brother attitude towards all other Americans, including Mexico and Canada?

And hey, in my language we don't make distinction between masculine and feminine, and we were the first people in the world both to allow women to be elected and to vote (1905). Maybe you can guess my nationality? Whatever, the point is that language and reality affect each other...
