What would be the best way to get into ic design (aside from college). Any suggestions on how to go from beginner to your level (Or maybe just share your path)?
Professionally? Don't think there's a realistic path aside from college. EE undergrad (or possible CSE if you're interested in digital design) and these days an MS too. Otherwise, finding free information online. Many MIT and Stanford courses are available online, and there are some YouTube videos too.
You could phrase it much more politely, but yes, it is very unusual to see anyone write "USian".
Some people are trying to normalize "American" to mean anyone from North or South America, but the reality is, of course, that 99.9% of the time, American means people from the US.
It’s the United States of Mexico, which everyone shortens to Mexico but for some reason you’re not okay shortening the United States of America to Americans?
Honestly United Statesian is more confusing because that ambiguously could refer to Mexicans.
It really sounds like you’re trying to troll and yeah people generally don’t like it if you intentionally get their nationality wrong.
No, the official name (in English) is the United Mexican States. (In Spanish, its structurally the same as the Spanish name of the USA (Estados Unidos Méxicanos vs. Estados Unidos Americanos, but the English names do not follow the same structure.)
> which everyone shortens to Mexico but for some reason you’re not okay shortening the United States of America to Americans?
People in American States [0] that are not the United States of America have very good reasons to prefer to distinguish the adjective for “belonging to the Americas” for the one for “belonging to the United States of America”.
> Honestly United Statesian is more confusing because that ambiguously could refer to Mexicans.
Yeah, that would be a problem if we also needed to distinguish the adjective referring to association with México-the-country from some supranational uses of México but were already using Estadounidense to make that distinction for different uses of “America”, but…that problem doesn’t exist for México, to start with.
I actually experience this in the exact reverse from the way you are proposing. I’d argue that this is specifically referred to as “content” because it is generated en masse, as opposed to something carefully crafted. This is they way I see most “content” on the internet. For instance, TikTok video that is made in a minute? Content. Pixar film that takes >100 minutes of work for 1 minute of film? Art.
