Canada + US = North
Mexico = Central
Brazil and friends = South
On a social scale:
Canada + US = North America
Mexico + Brazil and friends = Latin America
We have Canadians, US Citizens, Mexicans, and so on. My guess would be that the term "US Citizens" is a little less easy, so they verbally made it "Americans" in order to simplify. But I'm not sure about that one though.
And most add Mexico to the North, yes. But I don't find that logical since it's not in the North, heh. | |

Hmm.. that's not what they tought me in school. But you might be right. My knowledge is from years and years back anyway. Perhaps it changed like in Russia/USSR/Soviet Union and in Yougoslavia (or however they spell it  ). | |

What - you mean there's other countries over there other than the US? 
Heh, anyway I would have thought Mexico would be classified as 'north' as well since it's north of the small strip of land joining north and south america. | |
