While we're doing scientifically-unsound polls, might as well do this one too!

[Poll #1636721]

Only separated out the major/predominantly English-speaking nations because there are probably way more of even one of those than any of the others combined.

This isn't about politics, it's about geographical, physical location. You don't have to identify as an American to be from the US! Chill!

The poll and this comm is in English and that's how it rolls. If someone went to your Spanish-speaking community and insisted on Australia, would you take that into account? Same goes here.

I was surprised to find this out, don't get so defensive, I was not aware until now that in English it meant differently than in Spanish. Yeesh.

Defensive? I thought you were the one belligerently demanding change?

I was not, I asked if Australia shouldn't be Oceania instead. I wasn't demanding a change at all.

nope - not alone, as a Scot I was taught at school that the continents were Europe, Asia, Africa, The Americas Oceania and Antarctica.
