The article says he is "American". America has been the name of the whole continent since 1507, when Martin Waldseemuller wrote it on a map for the first time, and he wrote it over Brazil. America comprises 35 countries. Justin Bieber is American from Canada. Pope Francis is American from Argentina. Get the concept? The name of the country would be more accurate. Neil Diamond is from the United States, which is one of the 35 countries in America. — Preceding

How weird. What would you then say is the word for someone from the United States of America? You're suggesting that a person from Canada is not a Canadian but an American? That an Argentinian is called an American? — Preceding

Oh give it a rest. Diamond is American because 'Brazilian" sounds fine, "Canadian" sounds fine, "Argentinian" sounds fine, but "United Statesian" does not sound fine at all. I was born in the US, I've lived all but one of my 63 years in the United States, and I'm American, thanks.
