Spanish guy, who likes open source software and has just discovered the fediverse (as of 28th of April, 2022). I like video games, and indie and retro music. I’m a student. I’m officially diagnosed with ADHD and ASD since January, 2023.
America is a continent and Americans are people from that continent (Canadians, Usonians, Mexicans, Cubans, Argentinians, Brazilians…)

Yes, I do. The link is on my profile here.
“Nație” also exists, although it’s dated.
Understandable, because both “natio” and “imaginatio” exist in Latin, and both words are used almost with no differences in many other languages.

54·1 year agoYou called me “loser”. While that can seem innocent to a neurotypical, it’s devastating to a neurodivergent.
Do you think it’s OK to call names to a neurodivergent person (ADHD/ASD)?
My racing brain.

That would require a minimum of functional cell brains, something that’s lacking in that whole group.
Obviously he’s not a “dictator”, and that foreign minister should be sacked. Because Xi is a “supreme almighty emperor whose words are worth to be enforced or else…” A bit of background knowledge is never a bad thing.
Well, that’s very easy to fix. Just hide the playstation beep with another random louder noise. Then profit.
Person with ASD, more likely.

Can you explain this gap in your resume?

Yes. I can.

So what?

Why don’t you explain it?

Because you didn’t asked me to explain it, you asked me if I could explain it.

But English, being a de facto universal language, has good creativity to invent new words, either from native speakers or from foreign influences. For example, the word “D’oh” didn’t exist until Homer Simpson (Dan Castellaneta) popularized it. And I think the word “meme” didn’t exist either 40 or 50 years ago.
I think a good way to know that is to read newspapers from 100 years ago or older, and see how people from US were called.
Whether it’s one continent or two, the point is that it’s bigger than the United States. At least I’ve always studied that Americans are people who live in America, either from Canada, United States, Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Argentina… Then you can divide them between North Americans and South Americans.
That’s exactly what happens to me when I tell them America is a continent. Like, WTF?
Me: Finally I have my ADHD under control, I feel so good.
My ASD: Hold my beer.
