and his hatch wasnt that much faster then lifes

I was talking about game 1, the 10 pool killed nothing, and left Life behind a bit.

Life then caught up succesfully by outmicroing Goswser later on.

Casted replays, Iron Squid producers prefer to cast replays because koreans players should play at 3am ^^

Is not American.

Please, don't start with your north america is not part of america (i.e a north american is not an american) non sens. Ok you don't like to be called american. Get over it. It's like when a US citizen talk about football, when nearly everyone else in the world understand a different meaning with this word.

Good God... America is part of North America, not the other way around. I am North American, not American. I am Canadian, not American. It isn't complicated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas

America is fucking America. Whatever you are speaking about is just the word use to call people from the different countries on America. Calling somebody American is not wrong, it's just innacurate if you are trying to speak about countries. Trying to argue that you are not American is like saying Nigerians are not Africans. Yes, semantics are a bitch, but try to not get so offended about stupid stuff like that.

You are mixing up America[bold]s[/bold] and America. Happens, let it go.

Americas = America

Read the entry if you need to, and you will understand why being spanish America is just one continent for us and how we refer to them ;P

No, you didn't read it properly:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas#English_usage
+ Show Spoiler +

English usage

People who are not connected with the United States rarely call themselves American, but the word is sometimes used by Latin Americans when they are speaking English because they also consider themselves American, and feel that using the term solely for the United States misappropriates it. When using the word as a demonym, the English-speaking world uses American primarily to refer to a citizen or national of the United States of America. For instance, Canadians abroad typically resent being referred to as Americans, but some have protested the use of American as a national demonym.

Nup.

Spanish usage
In Spanish, América is a single continent composed of the subcontinents of Sudamérica and Norteamérica, the land bridge of Centroamérica, and the islands of the Antillas. Americano/a in Spanish refers to a person from América in a similar way that europeo or europea refers to a person from Europa. The terms sudamericano/a, centroamericano/a, antillano/a and norteamericano/a can be used to more specifically refer to the location where a person may live.

Citizens of the United States of America are normally referred to by the term estadounidense (rough literal translation: "United Statesian") instead of americano or americana, and the country's name itself is often translated as Estados Unidos de Norteamérica (United States of North America). Also, the term norteamericano (North American) may refer to a citizen of the United States. This term is primarily used to refer to citizens of the United States, rarely those of other North American countries.[61]

See, the ridiculous thing here is, you list the Spanish usage when we're all speaking English here. The point it, in Spanish, sure, it makes sense not to call them (people from the USA) 'Americans', but in English, the "English usage" rules take precedence. It has never been common in the English speaking world to try to call people from the USA "United Statesians", nor to use the Spanish word for it, because we're speaking English, not Spanish.

Your desire to refrain from calling the "Americans" is completely understandable but trying to tell others not to use the term "American" for people of the US when they are speaking English is just wrong and daft.
You can call them "US people" or something like that, but it's not the same type of national identifier. You'd have to always say "US American" or something like that.
Basically, this goes way back to an annoyance that they even called their country the United States of America, right? They don't own every single American (North, Central and South) country or territory, so not all American lands are United.

Trying to force people to change the way they identify a country after over a thousand years, in THEIR language is not going to work.

On a different note, it is pretty amusing that Goswser is doing so well after joining Millennium now that Stephano is no longer on a French team or living in France.

In the world of business in the US, America and Canada are called The Americas while South America and Central America are called LATAM or Latin America.

So in the professional world in the USA, America means the continent.
