Americanism

Americanism is an ideology or belief in devotion, loyalty, or allegiance to the United States of America or to its flag, traditions, customs, culture, symbols, institutions, or form of government. A belief in Americanism is a preference for all things or most things having to do with the United States. In some cases it can be a view of superiority of the United States over other systems.

Americanism can also be a way of speaking, writing, or spelling of words in American English that may be different from British English, or other forms of the English language.
