    I believe it was the Brits that first labeled us as 'Americans'. It's stuck ever since. I do sometimes have trouble with this terminology because I do have clients in the Canadian, Central, and South American regions. Ditto for calling Native Americans 'Indians'. They are not from India. Just like we call all bandages 'Band-Aids' or all sodas 'Cokes'. It's just semantics. Granted it doesn't make it 'right'.
