its a language mistake that has always bugged me. why did they appropriate the term "American" , like you said, we should all be americans if we live in America and why do they call their country "America", America is a continent, not a country. they should be called united statians but even then the term "united states of America" implies all the political states of America joined together, very ambiguous. If I remember my history lessons well, it had something to do with something called "the Monroe doctrine" or something like that and they did originally choose that name thinking that one day all of the American continent would be theirs. ( this last statement is from a vague memory from over 25 years ago, not sure about it).
