I meant I'd never heard it until you first showed up on the Vizzz, whenever<br>
that was. (maybe that was October 05)<br>
<br>
Which begs the question . . . Don't we refer to those of Chinese, Korean,<br>
and Japanese descent "Asian"? Seems to me I'm as American as they are<br>
Asian, right?<br>
<br>
Just a thought. It's better than thinking of snow.<br>

<br>
That saddens me somewhat, as it indicates really how non-memorable my words<br>
are.<br>
<br>
I used the word "USian" in a Viz dialogue with YOU, Dan, on 10/19/05:<br>

as wonderful as the USA. I am lucky to have the right to live here, I<br>
know. As a USian, I live better than 99% of the global population.<br>
But that isn't why I live here instead of England, Canada, Holland,<br>
Belgium, etc.<br>
<br>
The earliest that I've been able to Google my use of it on the<br>
Internet, period, is 01/25/03.<br>
<br>
I've used it on the Viz in about 7 different circumstances, according<br>
to Google, not counting today.<br>
