Africa is not a country.
- codexon 17y agoYes you are correct, but there is a loss of meaning by being pedantic. My comment would be meaningless to most people if instead of Africa I said a small region of Ethiopia, which probably wasn't even a country at that time, and probably a vastly different place due to continental shift.
