Started an argument with my much smarter wife because she said North and South America are not two separate continents. She was right, because continents are only defined by convention.

    Yeah. People in the US learn about 7 continents at school. In France, we learn about the 5 continents.

        I hope that’s really the gibberish my browser’s translate function tells me it is

          It’s very logical.

          There’s north chocolatine (basically hillbilly way to say pain au chocolat) and south chocolatine, which according to the above commenter of extremely high IQ, means there as 6 continents instead of five.

            Maybe some of it is literal word for word translation vs accounting for grammatical differences but …

            Anything, there’s northern chocolate and southern chocolate, it’s 6, go back to your school in Paimpont (I have nothing against Paimpont, it’s very pimpant).
