The whole world uses that term, since the other countries are covered by other terms, or other encompassing terms like I explained already.
When someone says American, what country do you think they come from? You just said you know what North Americans are, so you wouldn’t include Canada or single out Canada there.
American has never meant an all encompassing term for north/central/south America, where the hell did you get this idea from?
but technically you could be talk about a Canadian or……
No… that would be a North American or Canadian. You already covered this yourself.
Give your head a shake and get lost. I’m not even going to ask how you think it’s harmful lmfao, trying to dilute an established word is harmful, which is what YOU are doing. Fucking hell dude.
Hey bud. I’m Canadian. I’m Canadian and North American. If anyone ever called me an ‘American’ I’d punch them in the throat. The last thing I ever want to be compared to is your dogbowl of a country.

Is it an ambiguous term or the whole world uses it?
I’ve never seen that term before.
No one has. I live in Canada. If anyone called me ‘American’ I’d take compete offence to the word. If they called me North American, I’d nod.
OP is an idiot.
I’ve only ever seen it used on lemmy. I don’t like it. Mostly because I don’t know how to pronounce it.
