A person from the USA is an American. However, so is someone from Canada, Bolivia and any other country on the landmasses (just as you might say that someone from the UK is European, this is equally as generic). However, the term 'American' is technically incorrect if used specifically used to refer to a US citizen.

The only alternative I have ever heard to the obviously incorrect term 'American' is a 'Columbian' (as in the the federal District of Columbia I presume). My only source for this however is British TV presenter Stephen Fry, who is known in the UK as a bit of a walking encyclopedia. I have never met anyone from the USA who knew this and even Wikipedia doesn't acknowledge this. I have tried to find something to back this up on the internet and found nothing.

English, you may also be called British (which also covers Scottish, Welsh and may also cover people from Northern Ireland).
