> Technically Newfoundland is an island

For anyone who says this I wonder if they are consistent with how they discuss continents:

- They take care to talk about the Caribbean as something in the waters near North America but not in North America itself

- They talk about Indonesia as something that is in the waters close to Asia and Australia—no need for “Oceania” obviously

- Madagascar as an island next to Africa

And so on and so on.
