Yeah, sorry. "Not from the US". In Spanish I'd say "estadounidense", but there's no such word in english sadly. USian isn't a word lol.

Also technically isn't Mexico also USM the same way US is USA? Not my fault they decide to call themselves the continent and no one stopped it. ๐Ÿ˜…

It is United Mexican States so it would be UMS

Sorry, I didnt want to attack you, it just something that bothers me lately, as the American continents are so much more than just the USA. With great culture and landscape.

Ah no, you didn't. I also get annoyed with that but... They kinda force us to do it. I'm not even from the Americas. :_)
