So you're an American then, right? Or are you Canadian? Do you call yourself an American or Canadian when you travel? That's right, I thought so. As usual, I'm right and you're wrong. I own your ass. Give up, bitch.

Actual, an American is an inhabitant of America, not a continent. It's usually used to mean someone from the US, but can also refer to anyone in the Americas, regardless of country if the proper adjectives are added to it.
North America and South America, also said as the Americas, are the continents. When you say America on its own, it really sounds like you are talking about the US, only because it is so often referred to as such.
Now, you can continue to educate us, oh wise one.
edit -- seeing your other post, I don't know if I would go on claiming to be so much smarter if I didn't have a grasp on simple grammar rules.
I've seen Brian post for some time and I think he knows his stuff. The thing is a lot of matters get rehashed. Not everyone feels like debating the same shit over and over again with the same arguments.

Pretty good explanation I would have to say...I never quite did understand it.
I would give franksters a pass on the grammar...he talks like many French Canadians I have met.
Same word placement/word structure.
English is obviously not his primary language...
