American? Do you mean USAEan?

Ok. I get it. There are people in the Americas that are not from the US. But do you call people from the United Mexican States “Unitied Mexican Stateans”? No, that sounds ridiculous. I think that it’s silly anyway to call everyone from either Americas “American” anyway; they are two different continents! “North American” or “South American” would be better, if you must get so broad with your adjectives (but really, continent-wide generalizations of people are rarely useful anyway). Sorry for the rant.

They’re not two different continents thought?

North America and South America are 2 continents. What definition are you using that has them as one?

Yes Eurasia is 1 continent too, arguably it should be afroeurasia as well.

North and South are their own plates

Africa is it’s own plate

So what are you arguing?

?? Plates dont equal continents? Or do you think Turkey is its own continent? And the east coast of Africa is a seperate continent to the rest of Africa?

I am asking what they are supplementing their argument with

Continents are large landmass separated by oceans. That’s the working definition, it’s not a particularly precise definition, but it’s the generally accepted one.
