- JuettnerDistrib 5y ago> mainland Europe First time I here that phrase! A testament to the rise of China? The proper term is continental Europe. Digging a bit further, Wikipedia's[0] article is titled "Continental Europe", but says "mainland" is also used. Time to speculate: for the British speaking English, the "main" land are the British Isles, so they prefer the term "continental".

- dude4you 5y agowhile I am not a native speaker, I am a us citizen and it is a term that would be used by an uneducated American. but continental is indeed better.
