People in different places learn the continents differently, dude. Just because you learned this specific way where the entire landmass is referred to as "America" doesn't mean you're correct. It just means you're from a different friggin' country!

I grew up in a Nicaragua and learned it your way as well, where north and south are one continent, but I don't care when people separate them. In all English speaking countries they have two continents and refer to people from the USA as Americans. Germans, Dutch, and some other Northern Europeans use "America" to refer to the US as well. Only in Spansih and Portuguese do I notice the word "Estadounidense" and whatever the portuguese version of that is. 

But that's just me and my habit of saying things like they just are.  

I live in Brazil and only college leftists ever use 'estadounidense'. Everyone else calls americans 'americanos' or 'norte-americanos'.

Either way, you are objectively more correct than him. There are two continents - North America and South America, separate landmasses standing on different tectonic plates and joined by chance, much like Eurasia and Africa through Egypt, and a country that is called America. The same way the United Kingdom of Great Britain is a country called Great Britain, and the United Mexican States is a country called Mexico. Also, inversely to the situation on the new world, there is Central African Republic and the Republic of South Africa are countries called Central Africa and South Africa within the continent of Africa.
