Jeff, you're pretty smart right?
Brilliant, in fact.

Answer this...

Why is Europe considered a continent onto it's own if continents are a description of land mass? Shouldn't that land mass be called Eurasia? Where is the fucking ocean between Asia and Europe?

I wonder if some European came up with devising all the continents and being an imperialist racist snob he just felt the white people should be separate from all those yellow and brown people and deserved a continent they could call their own.

Well, Asia is full of asian people. As you well know, they only live in Asia. As a result, the Europeans, devoid of Asians needed a place. Non-asia was taken. You see where I am going with this?

Jeff, puhleeeeezze answer this question:

If a chicken and a half could lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a grasshopper with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

Your teachers taught you wrong. Colonel is actually pronounced as colon-elle. It's swedish in decent.

Freak. But on the etymology:

"It’s the result of a confusion between two forms of the word that came into English at different times. Its source is the Italian
colonna. This, and our column with the same meaning, derive from the Latin columna, because a column of men was reminiscent of the shape of a pillar. There was an phrase in Italian, compagna colonnella, literally the “little-column company”, which referred to the small company of soldiers that marched at the head of a regiment and which was commanded directly by the officer in charge. So that officer became known as the colonnello, the leader of the little column.

This shifted into French as
coronel but later changed back nearer the Italian original as colonel. Much the same thing happened in English, where coronel was the more common form up to about 1630. For a while after this date both forms were in use until colonel eventually won. At first the word was pronounced as three syllables, but the middle became swallowed, and under the continuing influence of the “r” spelling the “l” in the first syllable vanished."

No, actually I'm right. Thanks for trying though.:biggrin1::tongue:

Hmm, I"m torn for who to believe.. but I'll go with Jeff because he has a higher post count, therefore, he is more godly on LPSG.

Sorry,

Rob <3

Well, actually, I've recently subcontracted Dong to answer some of my questions. He was kind enough to actually come up with a brilliant answer. Well done, sir. That's why I pay you the big cash.

However, Jared..... You are welcome to believe me. I'm brilliant.

Quite possible, continental divisions can be about cultural divisions as well as geological ones. Europe is one of the seven 'traditional' continents. The continents is, as you suggest more properly called Eurasia by combining it with Asia.

It is often so called. Sometimes, with it being joined, Africa is added to make Afro-Eurasia, though that sounds more like a disease.
