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. :)

This is the same as the gulf of Mexico. You guys call it as "Gulf of America" because of your country issues. In the rest of the world, it is the Gulf of México as it has been for many centuries.

America is not a continent but a country in your country, but in the rest of the world, America are two continents.

I mean, you guys, the U.S. Americans, can be a little bit delusional some times, to the point that you think the whole world is wrong except you
