"America" isn't a continent.
- treesprite82 6y agoAmerica can be a continent. Definitions vary so sometimes it's split into "North America"/"South America", or pluralized "Americas". TZ database includes "America/Santiago" and "America/Sao_Paulo" so clearly it means the continent and not just the US.

Which way were you taught?
