    I find this reference on http://iwillnotgoquietly.manilasites.com/stories/storyReader$14 but I do not know if the attribution is correct.

    Usanian- "American" or "North American" may be the conventional usage, but both have overtones of imperialism. Frank Lloyd Wright used
    "Usonian", but I think "Usanian" sounds better.

    Interesting little linguistic sidebar, eh?
