minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•10 days agoThis is offtopic, but is there any reason for using a word derived from USA instead of saying veterans from the USA? Usian sounds wrong
minus-square☂️-linkfedilink11•edit-210 days agobecause calling them “american” implies the USA is the entire continent. i cant really call myself an american, even though i am. they stole the word to mean “them” like the rest of the continent doesnt matter. also in my country we call it “estadunidense”, which roughly translates to “usian”.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•10 days agoInteresting. In Canada we just refer to the country as US, but to its denizens as Americans.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•10 days agoAmerican is obviously a way worse name. I was suggesting using “someone from the USA”, but usian also makes sense considering the context
minus-square☂️-linkfedilink2•9 days agoyeah, i usually say “people from the us” but i miss having a single word for it, like “danish” or “chinese”
not only usian veterans, but predominantly them.
