I find it funny that you consider North and South America to be a single continent, but that you consider Europe and Asia to be two, considering how much more "attached" Europe is to Asia.
I realize there is some difference of opinion on what the continents of the world are, and that some consider Eurasia to be one continent. Though I don't imagine that is a popular view.
Being Canadian, I dislike the appropriation of America as well. Although I refer to the citizen of the U.S. as Americans (for lack of a better term), I *never* refer to the country as America. Frankly, I don't know anyone (here) who does. I usually refer to the country as the U.S. or "the States".
