Most LatAm I’ve spoken to online (including Brazilians) insisted that it’s one continent and that North, Central, and South America are subcontinents. Several of them have ranted at me about how it’s immoral for the US to monopolize “American” because of it.
fwiw in the US I was taught that North and South America are two continents and that Central America and the Caribbean are subcontinents of NA; the Panama-Colombia border demarcates the continents.
Only other one that really ever gets brought up is Australia vs Oceania as a continent. Don’t think I ever heard of Oceania until after graduating.
