`  Chinese people call Americans ``Meiguo-ren`` which means ``people of the beautiful country``  which is obviously sucking up, but it is also because to them A-MEI-rican and Mei, which means beautiful in Chinese, sound similar enough to make sense to them. So 1.4 billion Chinese call us the Chinese language equivalent of ``American``. They do not call Mexico ``Meiguo``, or ``Meiguoren``. Further, India probably uses British standards of teaching so India would see the Americas as two continents. So that's another 1.3 billion. You say ``latin america and a few little european countries`` well I say most of Asia recognizes our point of view, and Asia dwarfs Belgium, Spain, Greece and Latin America in terms of population. Also North America and South America are on different continental plates, and are connected by the little isthumus of Panama. Your six continent model makes no sense, because a giant chunk of Russia connects Europe to Asia- shouldn't you be not a continent, but Northwest Asia then? I'm going to call Europe ``northwest Asia`` until all Europeans recognize the foolishness of calling two landmasses connected by a region smaller than the sinai peninsula a single continent.  Also this is the English wikipedia, no one cares about your ugly language's stupid ideas of geography. P.S. Catalan is far superior and far more beautiful than Spanish and I support independence for Catalonia. Down with the Castillian imperialists and their ugly language.   `
