Hey,
I just stumbled upon two interesting Wikipedia articles on the term "American". The first discusses the issue of using the word American to refer to USAians and the other suggests a series of alternate terms:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_words_for_American
Some of the alternate names include:
Statesider, Uesican, Uessian, Unisan, Unisian, United Stater, USAian, U.S. American, Usan, USAn, Usanian.
Maybe we should have an informal vote. Though I'd like to add "Yank" to the list. :-)
Cheers, Daniel.
