So what do you call an fan of American culture?

by Diana Burrell on October 27, 2008

A couple weeks I posted about a CSM column discussing what fans of American culture should be called. Are they Yankiphiles or Ameriphiles?

Last night I was thinking about it and came up with Americanophiles. Actually, I came up with Americanaphile, but then thought it sounded like someone who appreciated things like country dances, lawn art, and Norman Rockwell calendars. Apparently, the Russians and Chinese use Americanophile, and have even translated it into their respective languages. Cool!
