As long as we’re being pedantic bitches, there’s actually anywhere between four and seven, depending on how you define it. Not my fault European schools teach you wrong too
Given that continents are generally ill-defined, do you reckon maybe we should simply… ask the people who live there what they want to be called?
I mean, yeah, if a) it was the linguistic norm to call them Earthlings, and b) it was not a linguistic norm to call anyone else on Earth an Earthling. It’s not really analogous to the USA, given that no one else uses the demonym American, and everyone knows who you’re talking about when you say American
At some point you got to read back through this conversation and think “man, I came off really fucking aggressive because someone said a date differently from how I do, this makes me look like a complete twat”
First, so I know that you read it, I’m going to repeat what I said earlier. At some point, you have to look back at this conversation and think “I got really fucking aggressive just because this guy said a date differently from how I do, and it makes me look like a twat.”
Second, more important to my point, USian is not my demonym, and you don’t get to decide that it is. That’s really all I should have said this entire time.

Like in my example with halfwits from United States of Earth demanding to be called Earthlings? 🤣

So no. But I refer you to the guide I linked before.
Actually yeah means yeah not no
Maybe try reading more than three words
So, no. But I can tell you one thing - your lot reminds me of Homer Simpson telling Lisa “yes Lisa, native Americans like us”.
You are as much American as people from Brasil, Venezuela or Mexico. You are simply trying to appropriate the name which doesn’t belong to you.

Do you live in the USA? That means you are a USian. It is not that difficult.
No, I’m American.
