TT, like Bessner is Australian.
Stara & Randon are both from Brasil, which is in America and whose people, flora, fauna and produce are by definition American.
Same applies to Equador.
I think some of you need to do some geographical research before making comments on a an international forum. If you mean the USA, then say the USA. Not to say that the USA is not in America or it's people etc., are not American, they certainly are, just the same as Brasil and it people etc. However the USA is not the only American country, by a very long way.
Even Wikipeia get this right.
"The meaning of the word American in the English language varies according to the historical, geographical, and political context in which it is used. American is derived from America, a term originally denoting all of the New World (also called the Americas)."
