The Name Game

I’ve got an idea. I’m a little tired of the U.S. claiming the name ‘America’. I think this has gone on long enough. I mean they aren’t even 50% of the continent, so there isn’t even any 50% majority veto on the subject. Ok, the 'America' part is easy– it’s either 'the U.S.' or 'the U.S.A'. The hard part is how to refer to the citizens (or should I say ‘folks') of said country. Well my vote is for 'USian'. I know, it looks a little weird but new things often do. Then there’s the problem of whether to put in the periods or not. 'U.S.ian', 'U.Sian'. Hmm. There must be a way. I think I like USian. I’ve actually seen it showing up a few times on the blogisphere. Any ideas?
