Americans (inhabitants/citizens of US) when people from other countries come to theirs : "These people need to speak English"

Americans when they visit other people's countries : "Why don't these people speak English???"

EDIT : By the context of this post it's blatantly obvious which definition of 'American' is being used lol, but I added an explanation above anyway. 🙄 And yes there is more than one definition of "american", usually context makes it clear which is being used for most people

Not even the "american continent", that would include Canadians and they are not Americans. Los EEUU, the United States of America... And the fact that I have to explain that is irritating af, it should be obvious what "Americans" means. The Talibán does not target Colombians, Mexicans, Chileans, etc when they go after Americans
