What to call Americans

I thought this was kind of a US-centric article, but it does raise some good points.

Read from the Economist, here.

It is definitely not the most pressing issue, and the way the article concludes by calling us "USAnians" frankly seems a little ridiculous. But, I guess that's just the nature of the topic anyway. Pretty ridiculous.

Still an interesting topic, that there isn't one all-encompassing term that refers to, or means, "from the United States." I thought that's what the word American was for. Oh well.

Irene and Saki are going to be meeting with us in the office today, so looking forward to a productive day.

JALD has gone very smoothly and rapidly thus far; let's hope that things stay this way. Plans with JANM have been confirmed and it looks like things will play out as we hope. CG-JA Meeting plans have also begun.

Off to meeting now.
