A Francophile loves all things French; an Anglophile loves all things English: by extension, what is the noun for he who loves all things British, and similarly, all things American?

Américanophile Unfortunately, the site is in French and I had to use a translator. I'll try to find another. http://dictionary.sensagent.com/Am%C3%A9ricanophilie/fr-en/ Sep 14 07, 2:41 PM

Here is something a bit better. Americanophilia.: An article from: American Scholar Written by: George Watson Excerpt: To be an Americanophile is to love America--its literature, its music, its films--without belonging to it. Americans are largely unaware of Americanophilia as a European state of mind. In fact, they seem reluctant even to contemplate it; and its climax, in the twenty years or so after the Second World War, came and went unregarded in the United States. Perhaps it is not too late, however, to mark it down, or too soon to sum it up. By now the world has changed. Cultures are no longer clearly national; a global economy has internationalized the arts; the young scarcely think in national terms at all; and the phenomenon has inevitably faded, much like Anglophilia and Francophilia. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0008H6SN8/qid=1113669085/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/102-7337028-9216142?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Sep 14 07, 2:56 PM

Here's an interesting discussion about what to call someone who loves all things American. I can't say I cared much for "moron," but I rather liked "Ameriphile." A little more elegant than "Americanophile," I thought. I saw a number of references to "Britophiles" online, but all of them in very informal contexts. http://ask.metafilter.com/17569/Whats-the-word-for-a-fan-of-the-USA Sep 14 07, 4:16 PM

Neither of them very eloquent, though. Perhaps Yankophile and Brittaniaphile? Sep 14 07, 4:30 PM
