So, no. But I can tell you one thing - your lot reminds me of Homer Simpson telling Lisa "yes Lisa, native Americans like us".

You are as much American as people from Brasil, Venezuela or Mexico. You are simply trying to appropriate the name which doesn't belong to you.

First, so I know that you read it, I'm going to repeat what I said earlier. At some point, you have to look back at this conversation and think "I got really fucking aggressive just because this guy said a date differently from how I do, and it makes me look like a twat."

Second, more important to my point, USian is not my demonym, and you don't get to decide that it is. That's really all I should have said this entire time.

USian is not my demonym

Do you live in the USA? That means you are a USian. It is not that difficult.

Yes, you are. The same as for example people from Brasil or Mexico.

All these countries are in America, USians are the same Americans as Mexicans or Brazilians.
