Vote: Canadians are "Ah"merican or "A"merican?

[Winnipeg10]

Thinking about our Canadian status in America, we as Canadians are either "A"merican pertaining to a U.S. Citizen or an "Ah"merican pertaining to our continent. Oviously we pronounce it "Ah"merica and not "A"merica if you noticed. Or, how many agree with re-pronounciation "Re-Naming"of our Continent?

Or, "merica.

If there were any people who wanted to rename the continent, there are a few hundred Latin Americans who would go for this in a shot. Yet in Canada, America is the United States or the US. We don't hardly ever say the word America by itself. An odd taboo.

I say North American, as my friends from the US are Americans. So, neither of your options really works for me.

 

[L Gilbert]

Yeah, same here.
