Ok, Here's something me and my brother were talking about the other day.

Why do people from the United States call themselves "Americans"? I mean...America is a continent....not a country.....

Shouldn't they be called "United Statians" instead?

Cos....Canadians are from America, Mexicans are from America, Venezualans are from America...(although from what I understand most people would rather ignore that country at the moment) etc etc.

Does anyone know what's up with that?
