Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.  WRONG.

The definition of a continent is arbitrary enough so it could be one continent, but the way it is commonly accepted is that it is two.  You cannot say that there is "no such thing" when according to some definitions, there are.  Not only to some, but to the most common.

This US foruns are the first place i see people saying America is two continents, so i don't think it's commonly accepted and even if it is, that's irrelevant. something being commonly accepted has nothing to do with it being correct or not. just like you commonly accept American = United statian, America = USA. it's commonly accepted but doesn't change the fact it's terribly wrong.


The fact that the definition of a continent is arbitrary to begin with DOES make "commonly accepted" correct to some degree, even though other examples exist.  
Also, calling someone from the United States American is just like calling people from East Asia Asians.  Not everyone in Asia are called Asians, though.  Get your head out your ass.

it's not the same, certainly everyone born in US are americans but the moment you use the term american as if it equals someone born in US (nationality), then there's a problem. USA nationality = United Statian, it doesn't matter how ugly that sounds, nationality is defined by the country's name. at most you can call yourselves united statians of America.

about the deffinition of countrys, well, the deffinition of island is quite clear: a piece of land surrounded by water. since every piece of land on earth is surrounded by water, it's all islands. the world continent sounds as if it's derived from the word continous so a true continent would be something like the red line from one piece universe.


The countries name is the "United States OF America."

United Statsian shows a complete misunderstand of... language.


That would be like saying a  Caesar Salad shouldn't be called a Salad.

It should be called a Caesar, since their are other Salads.


Except... there are no other Salads.  Since there are no other countries called America.

 

The Democratic Republic of Congo is Congo.   Not "The Democratic Republic".

People from there aren't "Democratic Republicans".


They're... Congolese.


People from the Republic of Congo are also Congolese.  Not Republicans.

Hell, even if you were to

 

In otherwords.  Your schools lied.  Schools do that.  Get over it.
