Which continent is America? I only know of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

Tangential nitpick:

s/Australia/Oceania/

(shoutout to New Zealand, Hawai, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Samoa, etc)

Very clever. It's the land mass, just like Eurasia.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

Eurasia is on one continental plate, the Americas are on 2-3 (depending on how you want to count the Caribbean iirc)

Definitions of continent vary and are often fairly subjective but I've always considered that a pretty objective standard.

So anyone who calls themselves a European is also wrong. That's what I see you saying here.

That's what they teach you in the USA, eh?

Five continents We have been taught in school (way back in the '60s in Europe) that there are five continents, Africa, America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, for instance symbolized in the five rings of the Olympic Games.

Six continents However, there is no standard definition for the number of continents. In Europe, many students are taught about six continents, in which North and South America is combined to form a single America. These six continents are Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, and Europe.

Sounds like Eurasians can be just as ignorant as USains.

Ahh, you haven't learned anything since the 60's. Your idiotic ramblings are starting to make sense..
