      Like USian over American…I get it but it sounds stupid

      Frank Lloyd Wright tried to popularize “Usonian,” but it never made it past the context of architecture.

        Sounds like them trying to figure out what to call people from San Diego in the movie Anchorman.

      USians sounds stupid because most of the world think USians are pretty stupid so it’s got a secondary aspect to it too. Plus, it’s not fair on the other countries in the Americas to be tarred with the USian brush. They have it hard enough and nobody needs that association.
