...Dude, 8 hours is how long a shift is legally. If your working 12 hours you should be getting 1.5x pay for those 4 hours over 8.

work time is regulated by week, not day. 40 hours is standard, anything above 40 is OT.

I work 4 10s.

Ergo, an hour of overtime is an 11 hour day.

Even we Americans* often think so.

(All the other countries on these two continents have their own names. They can just call themselves Argentinians or Canadians or whatever. "American" is really the only name that applies to people from the USA, since trying to make the name out of the other generic words in the official name of this country would be just stupid. "United Statesians" just doesn't sound right. Plus, there's other "United States" out there, like Mexico (aka Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos.))

(Americans is just simpler. No one else uses the name, because they've got their own country names.)

((I'm pretty sure Selina has now been shipped with half of the PCs.
And are you at least getting overtime pay?))

((Only half of the PCs? I'm disappointed in you all... It should be all of them by now! :P))
((I'm disappointed in you. By this point it should be all the PCs a few NPCs and some of the Lurkers. Also, the US is indeed weird.))

Three nations north of Central America.

(Americans is just simpler. No one else uses the name, because they've got their own country names.)
On the other hand, American also applies to the entire continent.
And really, if there was any nation that deserves the adjective "American," it would be a Native American one. Maybe the Inca.

There is no 'Native American' nation. There's nations like, I dunno, Cherokee, Inca, Maya, Iroquois and so forth - they've already got their own names. It's like arbitrarily calling Germans Europeans instead. In fact, the appellation 'American', considering that it references an Italian explorer who pretty much had nothing to do with the history of the indigenous peoples, is really fitting only for non-natives, I think.

There is a reason I put an "if" in there.

And I agree, but it should apply to all non-natives in the lands named after Amerigo [sic] Vespucci.

No, because they also have their own country names.

Except the USA, which claims the logical all-inclusive name.

It's a handy convention that nobody in the world really cares about. And if somebody does, they shall refer to the subjects of the USA as the 'denizens of Central North America' forevermore. Failing that, you can just name the country... 'Washingtonia', or 'Lincolnshire' instead.
