    I understand your opinion but that way you are taking the possibility to be named as Americans (for the rest of America). I mean if I am from Europe you can call me European and we will all understand that, no matter if I am from Spain or from Poland. However, is not the same if you call someone American... even if he is from Ecuador or Mexico it will be consider as he is from the USA. Do you get my point?

    "It is derived from America, a term originally denoting all of the New World (also called "the Americas"). It retains this Pan-American sense, but its usage has evolved over time and, due to various historical reasons, the word came to denote people or things specifically from the United States of America. In modern English, "American" generally refers to the United States, and in the U.S. itself this usage is almost universal, with any other use of the term requiring specification of the subject under discussion. However, this ambiguity has been the source of controversy, particularly among Latin Americans, who feel that using the term solely for the United States misappropriates it." Source

    Just because you include the word in your country name it doesn't mean you can take it.
