I wouldn't get too bent out of shape. Its quintessential American slang, hundreds of years old and not likely to go away any time soon. If you're British I understand being irked, but American English has enough variances from British or Canadian English to grant some leniency in cases like this.
Somebody, Somewhere is in anguish over your lack of capitalizing American.
I'm a grammar nazi and spelling supremacist, but I try not to rip people on t_d.win over their regional dialect or minor differences in how we say a thought. I try to give people some leniency because I know I'm not perfect and I type too quickly - I make mistakes and when I get called out for them It's the end of the world for about 0.000000000000000001 seconds and then I move on. Same goes for people who can spell just fine while they're being entirely wrong.
I invite them to criticize my spelling of american.
Having an issue with one slang word/phrase isn't the same as being a spelling or grammar whore. If the slang does not make logical sense, it's shit.

No, I'm american. Just because it's ours doesn't mean I like it. How Come is basically toddler speak for stupid people.
