BTW, where do you get "Ami" for "American"? That's a new one on me.

& how do you pronounce it?



I have been living in Germany. That's a colloquial term for Ami's in

Germany.



It's not derrogatory.



I just moved back from Europe. Until I went, I never noticed it, but when

I was in Europe, I could distinctly tell an American accent anywhere...

HOW do you describe an Ami accent? [..]
