Now that you mentioned, if used to play with split screen on a crappy 21' CRT TV, now that I own a nice, responsive 32' LCD TV I think it would make much more sense to do so, don't you think?

In their defense, not knowing South American vernacular isn't "living in a bubble". It is another subcontinent, after all.

I agree, but as you said, it's a whole friggin' subcontinent; one should be wary when doing assertions at a global scale.

Your point being? I didn't say Latin Americans would use the correct term when talking about USA citizens, but rather pointing out how you couldn't say "[...]USAians are called americans and no one else[...]" because that would be blatantly false.

Or "Gringos". While in its origin the word "Gringo" was used as an insult[...]

It's still used as a pejorative term, though you're right, it's not only an insult anymore.

Or "North American"

True, forgot about that one. It's basically the same misnomer as "american" to refer to a citizen from USA.
