Just to add to that, the poster's point is literally contradicted right in the cited article (Spanish wikipedia article on continent):

> En realidad no existe una única forma de fijar el número de continentes y depende de cada área cultural determinar si dos grandes masas de tierra unidas forman uno o dos continentes, y en concreto, decidir los límites entre Europa y Asia (Eurasia) por una parte y América del Norte y América del Sur (América) por otra.

Yes. That's done to appease the anglos because Historically, it doesn't work like that and, fun fact, nobody but me jumped at OP who said, for all intents and purposes, "the Anglo way is the only way" but when I come with the non Anglo centric view, that's when the users jump and come quickly to correct people.

It's just a great exercise of how these sites work. And that goes for more consequential stuff than this.
