Nobody will be confused if you tell them you’re American

They might not be confused, but if you're not from the US, they'll be wrong (spoiler: America is a continent, usually broken down into North, Central, and South America (and Latin America, for hispanic countries and Brazil. Other subcategorisations of "America" the continent might exist))

I'm Canadian. We know America is the entire continent. We still don't want to be called Americans. The US can keep that.
