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. ๐ And yes there is more than one definition of "american", usually context makes it clear which is being used for most people
The main point I see regarding the word "American", is that people of the USA have pretty much claimed it and use it to refer to themselves, regardless of the other definition of it. So we roll with that lol
