"American" se traduce al español "estadounidense" o también "americano". Según el diccionario de la Real Academia Española, una de las acepciones de "americano" es "estadounidense".<BR/>El texto de Cherie es absolutamente correcto y no supone ofensa alguna, ni es necesario buscar palabras nuevas.

I know that saying yanquis may not be perfect either.<BR/>Estadounidenses is the perfect word, but as you say, it´s spanish. English speakers should find a word that suits "estadounidenses". Maybe staters or something like that. Or u.s.ers, but that´s kind of funny.El Marplahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185882370572206101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23522785.post-60211777532644011902007-02-27T15:04:00.000-08:002007-02-27T15:04:00.000-08:00Hola Marpia,Thanks for stopping by my blog.I did t...Hola Marpia,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my blog.<BR/><BR/>I did think about your point when I was writing. After all, Mexicans and Canadians are Americans and also norteamericanos, if you want to be literal.<BR/><BR/>But "Estadounidenses" is too awkward, and it's Spanish and I'm writing in English. (Although I did use the word "gringo" in the titles of the posts.)<BR/><BR/>Do you have any suggestions for a replacement word for American that won't offend anybody? Yuma? Yanqui?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Cherietangocheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012220622641996877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23522785.post-5129764971133082332007-02-27T11:13:00.000-08:002007-02-27T11:13:00.000-08:00just a quick note to say that argentinos are "amer...just a quick note to say that argentinos are "american" too.

There'd been occasions when a man was walking to my table to invite me only to be intercepted by some woman who jumped up and grabbed him.
