I was homeschooled and it was fine, I did great on standardized tests, had friends, am not a fundamentalist nutjob, etc... I'd like to say to these people please stay, I know it's hard for them but what they're doing is desperately needed. Lots of those people are decent people who live in an echo chamber of conservative insanity, they need patient loving people like you to show up and let them see there's more to life than their bubble.
So he says he'll give them a billion dollars if they change their name to dikipedia. As someone who has donated to Wikipedia in the past I'm 100% in favor of this move.
To me it's win win. I can wait for it to go on sale and by then it will actually run on my PC. If it was finished on day one I'd be really tempted to buy it full price.
Sometimes I won't use Tumbleweed for a few months then boot it up and it will update every package on the system (literally full reinstall of the os and all installed software) faster than Windows can search for updates. What the heck?
I'm not really getting how born in the US and born on US soil have different meanings in the context of this conversation.
A completely different tangent: lots of Americans aren't born in the US. Which kinda messes up OPs question also. Like, yes, technically you can call most people born in the US a US citizen, but you can also call lots of people not born in the US that.
Yes, not everyone born in the US identifies as American. I've had friends who were born there while their parents were traveling and while they are technically US citizens they wouldn't consider themselves American as they've never lived there and aren't culturally American at all. I've also known people who were born outside the US and brought there at an early age who definitely consider themselves American even though their legal status is a mess. It's the only country they've ever known.
Language rules (in English at least) are descriptive not prescriptive. They try to explain why Americans are called Americans, not determine what they're called. They're called Americans, whether or not it's logical, or the ideal descriptor, or fits with other names, that's what they're called.
Also most English speaking countries don't have an "American" continent, they have North and South America as separate continents, so you would say someone is North or South American to refer to the continent, not just American. Similar to how some people consider Eurasia a single continent but very few people would identify as Eurasian.
