America, American
Shamelessly swiped by citizens/residents of the USA -- or abused by others around the world, but particularly in the UK -- this word should apply to all persons who are citizens of nations in the New World. A Chilean or a Panamanian is just as much an American as anyone born in the USA. We need a new word for US citizens. "Yanks" is not good, as it refers to some but not all US types.
