From Spain here, when we want to speak about USA people we use the term “yankee” or “gringo” rather than “american” cause our americans arent from USA, that terms are correct or mean other things?

    Eh, NY has the Yankees sports team but they are not part of New England and I’d say a good portion of the country would say NY has no Yankees in it besides the team.

        I think you should reread what I said, I don’t think your response makes sense vs my statement.

          The term Yankee includes more than New England. That’s why I didn’t use the term New England while you did.
