North America and South America are America.

What do you think the 5 rings in the Olympics flag represent?

>>74603710
I consider it to e just one continent, "America"

>North and South America, two distinct landmasses connected by a thin strip of land bisected by a man-made canal, are one continent

>Africa and Asia, two distinct landmasses connected by a thin strip of land bisected by a man-made canal, are two continents

beaner logic in action

>>74603710
>Why?
same reason why we're taught the metric system instead of the imperial, old school arithmetic instead of common core math, why we're taught Camarena invented color TV instead of Baird.
That's just the way we were taught, deal with it. There are historical reasons on why call it america, the division of north, central and south america are simple economical and social divisions nothing else.
idk why latinos get buthurth on why people call different things different names when they're not even speaking in the same language. I'd personally cringe over a gringo speaking spanish and saying "el continente sudamericano", idk why you can't cringe at our ways.

Are you implying this is a bad thing?

the USA literally caused the two landmasses to be finally separate, once and for all. We control our own destiny, just as we shall now build a great border wall.

>>74604007
neither a bad or a good thing, they have to convert into metric 90% of the time once they step of from HS and want to pursue a STEM career, so I have no problem with that.

Countries according to my geography teacher
>Europa
>Asia
>África
>América
>Oceanía
>Antártida

Both landmasses are called "América" after Amerigo Vespucci (Américo Vespucio in Spanish)

Also I hate how anglos pronounce "Yurop", you guys should learn romance pronunciation at least (ewˈɾo.pa instead of awful "YUROP")

>give facts to an american
>he brings up his orange emperor and his expensive fence

>>74604067
Why? It doesn't need an -a.

>>74604029
>he got memed into thinking Trump is going to build anything
kek

>>74604095
its like pronounc "Eymerik" instead of America
silly pronunciation
"You-rop" is awful, and the real name is Europa

*goes on an elaborate rant about anglo pronunciation and the vowel shfit*

>>74604095
We call it Europa too

>>74604135
Are you really going to argue with people about how they should pronounce words in their own native language? Do you realize how dumb and autistic that is?

>>74603710

I don't know why people always get so salty over this

>>74604168
yeah, but im objectivelly right and anglo pronunciation is one of the most counter-intuitive of all western culture

>>74604381
Good thing we're having this argument in English dumbass fucking beach monkey Jorge

>>74603710

I consider the Darién Gap the border between north and south.

>>74604135
>You-rop
It's more like "Your-up"

>>74604456

As far as American pronunciation goes, I think "au-rope-aw" would be better and more accurate.

>>74604438
its precisely because i know your language in-depth that im able to critizise it properly

>>74604231
Well, Africa and Eurasia form a continous land mass...
What should it be called? Eurofricasia?

>>74603834
Europeans came up with the name. Portugal, France, Spain also call it America. I know you guys pretend that we have no connection to Europe but we just kept the definition that they came up with.

NA ans SA are still connected by the seabed underneath the canal. Do you unironical,y believe humans managed to separate them completely? I wouldn't be surprised tbpf
