  1. Good to know they’re only concerend about us Americans however unfortunate that really is.

  2. What? Still no politically correct term for Tok’ra hosts? They need to get with the 21st century…

  3. Good old americans lets make it all for us
    Leave some for the rest of the world

  4. Or, if we’re going by the Twilight standards, Vampires could be referred to instead as: Glittering, effeminate, pedophiliac Americans…

  5. Bout time too if you ask me!
    You americans have left us brits use all the wrong terms for absolutely ages!
    Gawd knows we have enough trouble with your language as it is, this is gonna be such a big help =D
    Truly, thank you very much for showing us the right way, yet again. Where would we be without you…..?

  6. You spelled “corporeally” incorrectly.

  7. This made my day.
    Sincerely, Warm-Blooded, Homo sapiens American.

  8. You’re forgetting, “America” goes from Cape Horne to the North Pole. But when you’re the centre of the universe, I guess that doesn’t matter.

    • Arrogant American

      Damn Straight :-P

    • America is shortening of United States of America in this case. If we were referring to continents we would say “The Americas”. As far as I can tell, this is proper. I can’t find a dictionary that refers the America (singular) as the continents. I assume you must be Canadian because I have lived on both borders and only a small handful of angry Canadians make this argument despite no documentation of it being true. Even my friends in Canadian national news broadcasting think the idea that America refers to the whole of The Americas is absurd.

    • cool. so there’s another countries besides America?!!? weird!

      so, where are these other places?! how do we get to them?

  9. Generously Proportioned Americans..

    Isn’t this already taken by over half of Americas population already ?

  10. LOL, like Ghosts and vampires are real anyway?!
