	No harm, beyond not using the terminology that the people themselves
use. In the US, the country is virtually never referred to as "America".
Well, OK - perhaps in phrases like "In today's America..." or "Only in
America...". But in formal writing, it's "US citizen", and not "American
citizen". Or "the US won n gold medals at the Olympics." Not "America
won n gold medals".

	Other than that, it's not a big deal.
