I may be hopelessly ethnocentric, but I am an American:  I live in 
the United States of America.  Persons who live to the north of my 
country's northern borders are Canadians.  Persons who live to the 
south of my country's southern borders are Mexicans.  We are all 
North Americans (as opposed to South Americans, i.e., Brazilians, 
Argentinos, Peruvianos, etc.) but we are all very different, and 
there are three different languages involved:  English (Canada and 
the U.S.), Spanish (México) and French (Québec.) 

I hope that the residents of the many countries of Europe and the 
residents of the United Kingdom will find this to be of use in future 
discussions of residents of North America.

In addition to this, I think people from the USA (myself included) just call ourselves Americans because what else would it be? United State's American? We're the only country on the continent of North and South America that have America in it's country's name, so we got coined "Americans".  We're "Americans" not because ouf the continent, but because of the country's name.
