USAmerican politics really seeps into every nook and cranny on the goddamn web. I'd much rather read about something happening in the rest of America than USAmerica. It gets really annoying...
Why do people keep saying USAmericans? It looks and sounds stupid, you can just say Americans, everyone will know who you're talking about .
Fixed this for you. Kind of a pet peeve of mine when people use 'defaults', like everyone on the internet are in America, or if you're talking to someone from a capital of a different country they will assume you're also in the capital, everyone lives in America timezone, everyone using English uses en_US locale, and if by some bizarre chance you're in another country you can only switch language and country together, etc
