Yeah, shoot. (as in, what are they)

And in response to what follows, (from Adam Walker), I'm an Aussie,
pronounced /ozi/. Not an Orstrailian (as you extra-Oz people are want to
call us). If you must, then australian is pronounced /@stræilj@n/.

Me too!  There is one and ONLY one acceptable self-designation for citizens
of the United States of AMERICA, and that is American.  You may call us
whatever you wish when speaking of us in French or German or Swahili or
Russian or Spanish, but when speaking to us in English PLEASE have the
courtesy to call us by our self-designation!!!  Call me an estadoeunidienso
(or whatever) in Spanish if you so desire (We call no one by their
self-designations either.), but when speaking English call me an American.
How incredibly arrogant to try to force another people to change their name
for themselves!!!
