LOL you:

In modern English, Americans generally refers to residents of the United States; among native English speakers this usage is almost universal, with any other use of the term requiring specification. Wilson, Kenneth G. (1993). The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. New York: Columbia University Press. pp. 27–28

The FTC, to prevent deception of customers and unfair competition, considers an unqualified claim of "American Made" to expressly claim exclusive manufacture in the U.S.

For one I actually said people who say they are from America, not that they are Americans. They are from the USA. I can understand them not saying that they are USAians or United State of Americans.

In which case, what does this have to do with anything? I know what the word means in English tyvm (actually I am curious how the residents of Trinidad and Tobago use the word but that isn't relevant). You claimed 99% of people in the world used American to refer to Americans, not 99% of English speakers.

LOL YOU

I'm sure that short-haired women under 4'10 want to be loved too.

Regardless, if you read something from, say, a German, and it said "we saw some American tourists today", are you honestly telling me instead of assuming they meant people from the United States of America, you would be thinking "wellllll what kind of Americans? Pervuians? Argentinians? Nicaraguans? Mexicans? BE MORE SPECIFIC PLEASE!!"?

people who only open threads to complain about how bad the thread is

As if there was no possible way they could avoid clicking the thread and it's everyone else's fault they had to see something they knew they wouldn't like (speaking here mostly to people who repeatedly drop into threads to complain... *cough kioshk cough*)

The people who call US citizens "Estatos Unidosian" or some such nonsense consider the Americas to be one continent.

Are there really guys who prefer women to be stick figures? Most guys I know prefer women with curves. That does not mean they like flab.

This might not qualify but when you're in a right turn lane and the car in front is waiting for pedestrians to clear the sidewalk, and they wait until the pedestrian is ALL THE WAY on the sidewalk even when there are 2-3 lanes to turn onto and they have plenty of room to go without coming close to endangering anyone.

The thing that pisses me off more than that is when people are waiting to cross the street instead of standing on the sidewalk their dumb asses have to take 1/2 a step into the road right on the corner. It's almost impossible to make a turn without going into the other lane.
