>That Canada is also located in America, I didn't downvote you but to explain what you see as an inconsistency: all forms of language and terms don't always match the mathematical/geometric/spatial definitions. - geometry view: North America is the continent and both Canada & USA are spatial subsets - conversational language view: "America" is linguistically used as synonym for "USA" without any confusion because of context Same idea as recent news headlines that say, "Asian powers are unlikely to ease Russia's economic woes"[1] If one is stuck on the geography fact that Russia is actually the largest country in Asia and bigger than China, that headline makes no sense. (Why can't an Asian power like Russia ease its economic woes?!?) But if you accept that "Asia powers" is often a synonym for "China/India" that excludes Russia, the intended meaning can be parsed.
