Who counts them as one continent? That seems hard to argue geographically. I don't think a land bridge prevents them from being continents.

All English-speaking countries count them as two continents though.

And in English, it's conventionally "the Americas" even if you believe it's a single continent.

Kind of like, we call it the Bahamas, not Bahama, even though it's one country. It's linguistic, not conceptual.

Very interesting. I can't check the Greek-language citations; I'd love to hear from someone who has lived or gone to school in one of those countries.
