Some schools are staring to teach that there are only 6 cause any educated person knows Europe and Asia is really one continent, their calling it Eurasia.

That's mainly cause it's hard to say I'm a "United Statian" man it's just easier to say American. But if you cross the US boarder and declare yourself as American you will often get corrected that Canadians and Mexicans are Americans. I've often have to re-declare myself as "US Citizen"... maybe their having fun but still they are correct.
