Now i'm curious; i guess that in S.America the common term for a citizen
of the USA is 'Yanqui.'  But what is the 'dictionary' term?

Also, what do Canadians call citizens of the USA? [no jokes, please (unless
they're good)]. The only term i've heard in English speaking countries
is 'American', and the only term i've heard in French speaking countries
is 'americain(e).' When i studied French (in Switz) i was taught that
'americain(e)' is the only proper term.
