Nacho, If someone says they are from America, most people know that does not include South America or Mexico.
America..American.

America..American.

That depends on what part of the world your in.  Here in the US, that maybe so, but the term Americas has been used as well, which would mean anyone in the western hemisphere.

The only reason why the "American" therm has been used to the USA citizens is because the Brittish Empire dominated the modern world and history too much time, including bussines world, which is what makes stablish everything. ( Is like GM who has more marketing and they got the credit of the Muscle Car therm, when Chrysler was who got the real fist Muscle car one year earlier with the Sport Fury LOL ) America name comes from Americo Vespucio, who is the first what made the understandment of the full continet as a new world and not part of Asia like Columbus thought. And he began to know the new continent in Southamerica, not Northamerica ( just a little bit of History )

Peace to all. The "America's" is a term for all of South America all the way up to Alaska.  America is singular for the United States.
May God bless our new succesor, from St. Peter (our first Pope).

[Nacho-RT74]

another reason why say Americans to USA citizens is because United States of America is not a real name for a Nation LOL

is hard to say to you Unitedstaten! LOL... ( although we can say and in fact we say in Spanish "Estadounidenses" )
