Sue, you can have fun with the names of things.
There is a country which is officially called The United States of America. The citizens of that country often call themselves Americans, though their country is not called America. They dpn't call themselves United Statians.
Well, Canada is also in America. North America. The same blob of land as the United States. So is Mexico & a whole bunch of other countrys.
Arguably all of the citizens of all of the countries of both north & south America can call themselves Americans too.
Now THAT should stir the pot.
