    American is pretty unambiguous. What are you getting it mixed up with? No one else uses it. If you hear American, do you have to run through a list of other countries asking them which they are from? Of not, it’s unambiguous.

    You could argue that it shouldn’t be the pronoun for a US citizen, but that’s a different argument than it being ambiguous.
