Just your point of views, comparing USA to Australia knowledge. And the Z.
I know it's weird, I looked it up years ago 'Google, give me some famous beaver mascots." .
Don't worry. I'm just trying to make you jealous.
Oh wow, that is odd. Hmm... Apparently one of your universities has Benny the Beaver as a mascot. Another USA and Australian comparison. We don't really have mascots. My secondary school's logo was a python. We didn't have a suit or anything. In saying that, our houses kinda had mascots. My current school has an eagle. Apparently we have a suit.
Quick question. Is it okay to call people from the USA United Statesmen/women? I refuse to use the term American, it's just too confusing. That may sound odd to you, but we used to make cars called a Holden Statesman, so it sounds natural to Australians.
Technically, the official demonym for people from the US is American, but I understand why it's confusing. United Statesmen could work, I guess, but it's two words...
What do you mean by "older than both species"? Do you mean in evolution? Because I don't believe that... but if it was true, there'd still be no way to determine the age of a species for sure. It's all guesswork.
It probably has to do with the fact that most people in the world are more familiar with ducks and beavers than with platypuses.
How do you not believe in evolution?
It's illogical and improbable. Real science has never proven that life can come from non-life, and I can't imagine how it could, having just spent a school year studying life in detail.

Good luck.
Yeah we have some weird school stuff. My school doesn't have a mascot or logo... might be because I'm home-schooled. I guess? I don't honestly know, we just normally call each other what our states are. Like I'm a Texan, a New Yorker (For city and state). Whatever feel good to you is fine.

Right back at you.
With the amount of home schoolers I see online, I would believe that 70% of the US population were home schooled. You guys are like an invasion. And I've only ever met one person who was home schooled. She was an odd one.
Hmm... Can't say I have ever been refereed to as a New South Welshman or a Queenslander. They're usually sporting terms, but the average person just calls everyone mate. No need to be state specific.
It's just that Canadians are harsh when I call them Americans. I mean, they are Americans. My Colombian friend is also American. So United Statesmen... I feel is a better way to describes some of the North Americans.
Homeschoolers are more likely to be on a kid-friendly site talking about LEGOs. Most public schoolers wouldn't deem it cool.
We don't usually refer to people as Texans or New Yorkers, they're just terms that can be used.
Yeah, everyone on this side of the world is technically an American, and at the same time techncially isn't. Sorry if that made no sense, but it's technically true.
I've gone to school...for about six months...because reasons...
Oh I know why, they were thinking of country names. Australian is good because that is your country and continent. But yeah I'm fine with Statesman.
Which do you prefer? Do you have to wear a uniform?
Well technically we are citizens of the Commonwealth of Australia but that's just wordy. We can be confusing too, we have three flags. The National Australian flag, the Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islander flag. Thankfully, we all like to be called Aussies. Though some people pronounce Australia more like Austria. So it's like Os-tralia. We usually leave the 'a' as silent. So Ustralia.
The super lazy people say Straya.
We have one flag for the United States, and one flag for each state. So that's 51.
Some people shorten United States of America to just Murica.

Life coming from non-life actually isn't part of the basic evolution "theory," but that is a common misconception. Evolution is the fact that new species evolve from and into other species over millions of years, via natural selection. It is possible to believe in evolution and a creator. Studying life in school for years has only made me MORE certain evolution is true, so I suppose different schools teach differently.
Ignore everything I say, to the best of your ability.

I don't really know, I went to private kindergarten when I was 6. Yes I had a uniform and I didn't mind it.
We have fifty-two flags (not counting the territories), one for each state, one for the country and one for the capital of the country. I can't even explain the different ways all the states say stuff.

Still only one more syllable than American. I suppose we could just call you just Statesmen.
