Okay, I concede the point that North America and South America make up the Americas or the American Hemisphere.  I even agree that American can be used to describe anything from these two continents, just as the words African, Asian, or European, describe anything from those continents.  However, Asian, European, and African are not also nationalities.  The nationality of the people of the U.S.A. is American.  It has been for over 200 years.   Why does that nationality have to be stripped away in favor of some bastardized term?  Does anyone who visits this group, who is not from the U.S.A., claim to be American?  I've heard a couple Canadians here thank God that they are not American.   I will let this thread die on my part now.  This group is not the place for it and I apologize for taking up the bandwidth.  It's just that I've grown tired of the anti-American sentiment that has been posted to this group from time to time over that last five years.  The invention of USAmerican just strikes me as more of the same.  I leave the last words on the subject to you and others.  I will try to read them with an open mind.  I hope that you have done the same.

My son needs to know the difference between Canadian and American Football rules. Could some nice person E-mail me these? Thanks loads, Barbara Check out this site Barbara. It should give you everything you need: http://www.cuug.ab.ca/~leblancj/stampeders/compare.html

Also, in this context I use the term USAmerican vs Canadian, because Canada's in America too.  I'm in the Bronx, NY, BTW. Everything else you've written should be added to the FAQ for rec.sport.football.cdn, but not the above bit  Canada is in North America...since the mostly commonly held belief is that America refers only to the 50 states of same
