English-speaking countries don’t have a continent named “America.” We’ve got seven continents - Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, North America, and South America.

one of our favorite bullshit to argue about (when we couldn't think of anything else but wanted to keep both our arguing and bullshit skills sharp) was how many continents there are, what they are, and why.

this isn't English it's US English, it's not a part of the language outside of the US.
