Damn it. Wait.... America can't be a continent. There is North and South America. But no America.

[Alvaldi]

A country.

North America is the continent.

Better question is Australia, country or continent.

[NotSo1337]

North/South is irrelevent. I said 'America' which is relating to anything called America.

[ROFLBURGER]

[NotSo1337]

continent.

[jbeans]

Fuck, I just clicked country as I realized the answer!

[salty peanut]

(United States of) America is the country

North America is the entire continent.

[shatteredwindow]

America is neither. United states of America is a country, and America (or Americas) is both North America and South America, but it is not one single continent.

Fucking john ameryk stealing the name, it should be called Christopherica.

ITT: People butthurt because they thought America was a country.

[Revan564]

Well played OP, but no. There is obviously a difference between Americas and United States of America.

[NotSo1337]

Noth and South America are both one continent. Mexico connects them.

[HolyCrusade]

North and South America are continents, America is a country, don't try to act all clever saying otherwise.

[Dimly]

Okay I'll put I vague word in the question to make Americans look stupid.

There are the Americas or the United States of America.

We're a country, continent and island all at once. Yeah we just felt like being individuals :smug:

Well we used to be a continent, now Australiasia is (Mix of Australia and New Zealand. We are technically an island, but we are too large in size. So we have been rounded off to a country.
