The word "American" already unambiguously describes people of the USA. You don't need to make up a new word. | ||||||||

1. Synonyms exist in language. 2. You're on a site with a bunch of programmers who regularly use weird words for stuff that already has a name. Reading through HN is wading through a swamp of made up names and tech neologisms, you're just used to it already. I once told a software guy that our team's SWEs had migrated away from React and Node to Stork.JS and Blackadder. He nodded like that meant anything. 3. I like it and you can't stop me. | ||||||||

The word "American" has many sub entries in the Oxford English Dictionary - not all of those meanings are "citizen of the USofA". So much for unambiguous. | ||||||||
