Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack, and I am one of the hosts of the podcast.
And I am here with my co host, Sochil.
And today we are going to do a quick chat episode, and this one will be a short one.
But Sochil, what does it mean when a person from the United States of America says America?
What?
What are they talking about?
They're talking about the country, the United States of America.
And when they talk about Americans, they're speaking about themselves.
Right.
And I know it can be frustrating, but I will say people from other countries have adopted this, but also get frustrated, which makes sense.
In Mexico, for example, a lot of times we say Americanos to refer to people from the United States of America.
However, we get upset when they refer to themselves this way because it's kind of self centered and we're all Americans.
Canadians, as Jack mentioned, Mexicans, Central Americans, South Americans, other North Americans, like Mexicans and Canadians.
We're all Americans.
Right.
I don't think we have any ill intent as Americans when we do this.
