"Central America" is part of the North American continent... or widely agreed that it is. Of course, i think in Europe America is considered one continent SubDivided into North, Central and South regions and considering Mexico as part of Central America.
But, here is the US we are taught there are 7 continents of which North and South are continents and "central America" is all located on the North American continent. However, Mexico is part of North America and South of Mexico is Cenrtral America.
Oh poo... does it really matter?
All of that said, I consider myself "American" but usually tell people I live in the US, not America. I also personally don't consider a Canadian or Mexican, "American"... although technically I guess they are.
