Pope Francis was from S. America, so technically this is not the first American pope.

US-American, often abbreviated to just American.

American. Or if we're being a little silly 'Murican.

According to English speakers who didn't understand the proper meaning of words like "continent," it's "Americans." It's stuck around now though.

According to most other languages and nations who use more accurate descriptors, it's closer to "Statesman." You know, people from the 'United States'

Personally I'd say Statesian than Statesman, but it is the same thing

Amusingly, the very first search result I got for "US americans" is Exactly what I thought it would be

[-] usjelo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I think "US-American" is the most accurate, least controversial, and most grammatically correct one there is 😅

[-] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 2 months ago

There is 'Usonian', but nobody uses it.

[-] lemmyman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Here in Murica the colloquial meaning of an unqualified "America" is "the United States of America" its just the way we speak ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
