The Conversation about Native Canadians vs Native Americans sparked one of my favortie pet peeves.....
People from Canada are Canadian. People from Mexico are Mexicans. People from The United States of America are Americans? But since it is North America and South America isn't all of that the Americas... so arn't they all Americans?
Kevin needs to break out the books on style and grammer... I have a huge pet peeve on this. The common gutteral is to refer to The United States of America as "America" which is fine for everyday conversation but for proper writing like a news paper I find annoying.
Thoughts?
