You just said it. I’m merely desribing local naming conventions. call any Canadian “American” (in English) and you will get a puzzled reaction at best :)

At least here, it would be conventional to say North American, South American, or Central American.
Local naming conventions preclude the use of “American” to mean Canadian. “North American” would be acceptable.
Aber wie lange noch?
Immer. :)

I don’t know what to tell you and I don’t know why you’re getting angry at me - I’m not prescribing language, I’m describing it and yes, I’m aware this differs in other languages and other parts of the world. The continental model we use has North and South America as separate continents, therefore you might as well ask me what to call Africans and Europeans together.
Anyhow, I’m not going to reply anymore since you’re being kinda annoying, sorry.
