@Ruth_Mottram Hi! “USians” is a new term to me. Is that a more appropriate term/ reference than Americans? (If so, Is there an EUians version also?)

@nyork I'm not quite sure how mainstream the word is - but I remember it was quite common in forums in the early noughties, to distinguish US citizens from Canadians and Mexicans. I've never thought about EUians before! 😂
