Dgeigh, I'm curious about something. When you identify yourself, do you say I'm an American from Texas.

I rarely have a need to identify my national citizenship, bel. Usually, I’m asked to identify the state in which I live. Therefore, I usually say, “I’m a Texan.” For non-Texans, that’s usually enough. Among native Texans, however, I must further specify whether or not I am a native Texan. For the record, I am not. When the need does arise, on occasion, for me to identify my national citizenship, I say, “I’m from the United States”, or “I’m from the U.S.”. After researching TEd’s post, however, (Interesting fact there, TEd – I did not know that.), saying, “I’m from the U.S.A.” would be more exact.
