Hey, thanks. I actually put a lot of effort into that one, which makes me think I'm doing something wrong.

An 'American' is a vague nationality noun. It pretty much refers to people from Patagonia Argentina up to Canada. It’s like asking a Chinese what nationality he is and he answers, I’m Asian. U.S American is less vague but if you really want to be anal about it it's still not specific enough. Mexico official name is "United States of Mexico" or "United Mexican States" according to cia fact...

Is there some other kind of American for which we are not aware or is this someone's joke about going over the edge regarding political correctness in some anal manner?

I think you put the 's' on the wrong side of 'spoof'.

You may well be right. However, Wikipedia led me astray by saying: " Northern America is used to refer to the northern countries and territories of North America: Canada, the United States, Greenland, Bermuda, and St. Pierre and Miquelon. They are often considered distinct from the southern portion of the Americas, which largely comprise Latin America. The term Middle America is sometimes used to collectively refer to Mexico, the nations of Central America, and the Caribbean." Refering to that part of the world as "Latin America" or "Middle America" would've been more appropriate, on my part, than Central America. However, they are all American countries, and that was the point. N'est pas?

Ever notice how "spoof" spelled backwards is "Foops"?
