North americA
South americA

Hmmmm

MotionMan

AmericA? Get it?

"AmericA" is not a continent. Get it?

MotionMan

Yes, "The AmericA's" are...man, some people are so nit picky.

This is where you go "no they're not" and I go "yes they are" back and forth for 10 posts and then all of our efforts are forgotten as we move to the next post.

Funny, cause I was wondering how to pronouce that, then someone above you spelled it out, and I thought "Cool, just like the airline 815".

I will not disagree with you. All you need to do is show me one website that lists all seven continents and one of those continents is "The Americas". (I am very curious to see the other six continent names on that list.)
