Technically, I'm already there. Silly United Statians appropriating themselves the whole continent's name. hocuspocus;


...No. You're not. You're not anywhere close to the East Coast. You know like, right next to the Ocean. ;)

And I actually prefer American, but United Statian works too, even if it's not a real term.  hocuspocus;

Actually, it is. It's very commonly used in countries where English is not a primary language or simply by people who do not primarily speak English and live outside of the US.

Thyme's first language is French. Considering that, it makes sense for him to use the term. However, considering that he likely knows the term "American" as well, he might have just been fooling around.

there are other countries with states, counties, and provinces

do we call their citizens staters, countians, or provincians?

fuck no

Those countries don't mention them in their name though.

But the French mainly refer to Americans as Americans, so that shouldn't make much difference. Spanish and Portugese are the only ones that really refer to Americans as "United Statians" probably because the term "Americanos" is also used to apply to the Spanish/Portugese speakers in the Americas as well instead of just the US.

"International speakers of English refer to people from the United States as "Americans", while cognates of "American" are used in many other languages. French, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic, and Russian speakers use cognates of American (Japanese: ã‚¢ã'¡ã'ªã‚«äºº roma-ji: amerika-jin), (Russian: аме',икане'†, аме',иканка,) (Mandarin Chinese: pinyin- m,,›iguórén, traditional- 美å"‹äºº, simplified- 美国人) to refer to U.S. citizens. Spanish and Portuguese, however, chiefly use terms derived from Estados Unidos, the cognate of "United States" â,“ estadounidense and estadunidense, respectively."
