Maybe people would assume otherwise if you used, oh I don’t know, a Japanese flag for your avatar? ;)

Just add “eh”, “buddy”, and “ya know”, people will get it.

You just have to show them by spelling correctly.

(ie, using the letter U).

Hmmmm, so they are the American ones, the plot thickens.

I know a few things,

one is never to call a Kiwi an Aussie, 

never call a Canadian an American,

never call a Dutch man German.

Oh and don’t tell a Frenchman that the people in Quebec are French. Lol.

They’re Quebecois!

And never call a Scotsman or an Irishman English.

Or call a Welsh man English either.
