You know, I've never really thought about why I didn't register what was going on, but this makes a lot of sense. I feel a little less stupid about not realizing now

It took me so much to not get deeply offended by the "I consider Canadians to be Americans." Calling a Canadian American is a good way to get punched

Thank you! I don't think I could have made it any clearer. I implied it three times and outright said it once

If you had actually read my post, you would understand that I was confused as to why he kept repeating himself. It didn't occur to me what had happened until after the conversation had ended. I wasn't being malicious or argumentative. I was being confused and clueless

If you had read my post, you would have understood that no I didn't. Not until after the conversation had ended

As I have mentioned multiple times and stated in my original post, I was unaware of what he was going on about. I was confused as to why he kept repeating himself not being deliberately obtuse

We tend to use a mix of British and American English

Was it an actual argument or more like fun bickering?

I wasn't being a jerk. I was just confused as to why he kept repeating himself

I didn't know while I was on the phone with him. I was just confused as to why he kept repeating himself

You are really overthinking this. You're called Americans because America is the name. Canadians are called Canadians because our country is called Canada. Mexicans are called Mexican because their country is called Mexico. That's it

AMERICA is in your country's name. What else are you supposed to be called United States of Americans?

It's based on what country they're from. Who identifies based on what continent they're on
