Ok so America is just USA and all of the Americas means the continents? Why shouldn't Europe mean just the EU. Double standard much?

Oh I get to teach geography.

So Europe is a continental shelf that includes all land masses on top of it.

We have north and South America over here. So if I say North America this has to include every country on the continental shelf.

Europe and the EU are not the same thing because the EU is a human made concept of governance where there is no hard line dictate of what allows or doesn’t a country into it.

If a country is on the European continent though it’s part of Europe.

Hope I could help you learn something about geography. :)

Thing is most of you guys do not say north america. Most of you say america and you only mean USA with it. Even your wiki page states: "The United States of America (USA), also known as the United States (U.S.) or America"

Dude what the fuck are you going on about. What does this have to do at all with Europe and what’s being said about that.

Is America such a big deal in your life you have to bring it up even when conversations have nothing to do with it.

EU isn’t a continent, Europe is. What does anything you’re saying have to do with that.
