Don't. Everybody uses that. i used to talk about that with Grey Knight and I miss our chats. He was well aware I never use "Americans" unless I meant people of the whole continent, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. I use "people from USA" , but I sometimes joke with USers :D. Probably not here because I have to explain the joke.
If you are curious, the "correct" word in Spanish is "Estadounidense" which means exactly "from United States"
My only intention was call the attention about that for a moment, nothing else. I understand it is easier for you to say "American".
Oh, we sometimes call you "yankees", which is unaccurate as not all people from USA are yankees. But then, we use to call all the Spaniards "Gallegos", even when that means only "from Galice". It is because we received many Gallegos. (and probably because we are lazy too). I mean, everybody uses unaccurate words.

I'm partial to "US citizens" myself.

Dina:
I use that too :D
Shecky:
'Muricans! ;)
Dina:
LOL! First time I've read that (here!) I was so confused, In my mind, Murica sounds so different from America that took me a long while to make the connection.
