America is not America Hello everyone, I've noticed that many Wikipedians used to refer to the nationality of a person or institution originating in the USA, the American adjective. Well, I would like to clarify something pretty obvious: Americans are the inhabitants of the Americas, including North America, Central America and South America. Americans call Americans is indeed correct, but redundant. If necessary, we would get to call the Spanish, European, the Chinese, Asian, to footballers, athletes, and the Mapuche or Incas, just Indians. I propose that we put a little serious about it. They are all very well, Greetings! PS: I also take this same instance to refer to many Wikipedians who assume that we all know where places are like, to mention just one, Jalisco. It would be appropriate in the head meti ramos us that this is a free world, and therefore not all have had the joy of travel.To locate a place geographically, always start from the more specific, but end up giving the country of origin. It certainly is not much to ask ) Thank you. Farisori (Talk) 15:33 13 abr 2008 (UTC) The analogy is not always applicable to a language, much less logic. The use of American as U.S. adjective is so prevalent in our language which unfeasible a crusade against it. Each context determines the use, and that is where we must be vigilant, as for many other things. As for the other, the double brackets around the words are sufficient to illustrate the ignorance of those multiple swarmed around here, in hyperspace, hyperlinks can save many words. - Camima (Talk) 16:45 13 abr 2008 (UTC) I think Wikipedia is provided as an ideal resort to take away these socio-cultural stigmas, influenced by U.S. propaganda. The "knowledge" of the masses, more than ever is related to the real knowledge.The bad practice that is widespread does not seem justified in not attempting to correct it. American Call me an American gentile sounds like local, which has globalized the last time only by that country's extensive influence in the West. And on the other, of course, the bracketed words save us, but we reiterate my premise that the in Wikipedia to whom you should always think you're about to read, and if you want to know, for example, Adelqui Migliar, raw information is to understand that it's Chilean, then it is penquista (and not vice versa). Actually, that seems good example to illustrate how I should deal with this point of nationalities. Greetings!

The problem is that they, unlike speaking we do not have a word for Americans, there the crux of the thing. For better or for worse, the United States of America (the best country in the world) have influenced the rest of the planet with their language (which is not theirs), their culture, their words, therefore it is impossible as you say you , a crusade against this adjective, which in my humble opinion, does not harm anyone. You can stop the same in Mexico, in Mozambique, and say, Americans and anyone would think they are talking about Honduran or Guatemalan, they automatically come to mind people in the country of the stars and stripes. Well, greetings. MaVaLLo lie in Mexico did not agree that Americans call them Americans. In Spanish there is indeed a suitable adjective, so the Americans will leave that to the English speakers.3 3 3 --- --- 17:59 13 abr 2008 (UTC) PD: According Camima about you can not make a crusade against Americans, but if I ever put an item instead of American States. I will not turn this thread in a joint statement to get our Latin American nationalism, but if I must say that in my country we do not like (even offends us) to be called "American" Americans.

Really someone leaves that page without knowing where in the world belong I do not believe, unless you can not read.Lourdes message here 19:33 13 abr 2008 (UTC) Well, dear, I notice you're from Spain, without needing to enter your user page: by chance you know where he stands Iquique and La Serena They are well-known cities of Chile, however, if a person born in any of these cities, I would still be necessary to clarify that that person is Chilean, no .
