    I'm British and dated a girl from Toronto for five years, and not only could I not tell where other North Americans were from, but she couldn't either. One time in the supermarket in the UK, we could hear an NA accent, and I asked her if they were Canadian or American. She couldn't tell. So we walked to the other end of the supermarket and could still hear them, so we concluded they were from the US.

The title character experiences the same day in 4 different ways. The only original difference is the exact second on which she leaves her house. One second earlier or two seconds later and her life takes dramatically different turns...

    The point you make about about the number of continents you might think there are is dependant on when / where you were at school reminds me of a recurring question that has been asked on the UK TV show "QI" various times over the last 20 years - "How many moons does the earth have?". There is a compilation of these on the QI KZread channel, titled "QI Compilation | Alan VS The Moon(s)". Never sure how well known QI is outside the UK, but if you've not come across it before you might find it "Quite Interesting".

    What you say around 2:40 about translating names is interesting. In English we seem to have largely stopped doing it in the late 19th century. It does make a difference, because, say, the name of King Frederick William of Prussia sounds less sinister and 'other' to us than his descendant Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, for instance. The King of Spain who launched the Armada against England was Philip II, but we call the current Spanish King Felipe VI. Odd when you think about it. edit: On other points, CGPGrey has a video about the number of continents, and Bill Bryson's book "Made in America" contains some of the other names that the US founding fathers considered adopting.

    It always annoys me when people complain about someone saying Columbus "discovered" America. You don't have to be the first person to ever see or do something to be able to discover it for yourself or others. It's like if you're driving home from work and you take a different street that's 5 minutes quicker, you just "discovered" a new route for yourself. It doesn't mean other people didn't already know about that route. Children are constantly making "discoveries as they grow. The first time they see a Bumble Bee, that's a new discovery for them. A few weeks ago I discovered a new recipe for a delicious chicken and broccoli dish, I didn't create the recipe though and others knew about it, but I discovered it for myself. It's the same with Columbus, no he wasn't the first person to know about the continent. But the people of Europe didn't know about it, so he "discovered" it for the people of Europe.

I was raised saying North America/South America whereas she says it’s just America. But you’ve got to think that if you say it’s just the one continent of America, that logic should push you to the conclusion there are only four continents: America, Eurasica (Europe, Asia, Africa), Australia, and Antarctica.

The accent spoken in Newfoundland and Labrador is known as Newfoundland English, and it has a distinct mix of Irish, English, and West Country dialects.

North America (including the Aleutians, south to the Colombian border and Trinidad, Bermuda, and Greenland) 4. South America 5. Asia (west to the Urals, SW to the Sinai, S to the Seychelles, SE to Singapore, E to the Kurils) 6. Oceania (not even getting started on this one. Its HUGE. 7.

    Canada and the United States sound similar because all the cities of North America share a “metropolitan” accent. It’s only when you leave the cities into the more rural areas do the accents come out strong. I think there are 2 reasons for this: 1. Cities are generally filled with people from all over, and must adapt to better communicate with each other, speaking more clearly and pronouncing everything as best as possible. 2. Rural regions are generally more tight nit with people who grew up together with a lot of inside jokes and slang from families going back generations. The accent is usually thickest with the elderly, and comes out strong when people are free to be themselves without worrying what anyone else thinks of them. I grew up in Atlantic Canada and would always talk a certain way with my friends and family, but then I travelled across Canada for work, eventually settling down in Quebec. When I took my SO home to the maritimes, she noted that I suddenly started talking completely different and with a heavy accent, which I didn’t even realize I was doing. On top of this, my family remarked that I’ve started to take on a Québécois French accent from living here so long.

    An alternative is that is named after Richard ap Meryk, anglicised to Richard Amerike (or Ameryk) (c. 1440-1503) was a British merchant, royal customs officer and later, sheriff of Bristol. Several claims have been made for Amerike by popular writers of the late twentieth century. One was that he was the major funder of the voyage of exploration launched from Bristol by the Venetian John Cabot in 1497, and that Amerike was the owner of Cabot's ship, the Matthew. Ap means that Richard was Welsh in origin, ap Meryk means son of Meryk .

    Translating names is a good laugh since it wheels back around. The english john becomes sean in irish gaelic (anglicised) which then comes back to england alongside john. From that the already anglicised spelling of sean gets further anglicised to form shaun and shawn, which also sit alongside sean, john, jon and jean, which is the french john or another spelling for jane, which is the female john.

    So you think North America and South America are two different continents? Do you realize that North America and South America are connected by the Isthmus of Panama.? It would make more sense to consider Europe, Asia and Africa one continent than to consider North America and South America two different continents.

    If you want to complicate the question of how many continents there are you could always wrangle a geologist into the conversation. I have vague recollections of semantic arguments about using tectonic plates to define continents which can get into the weeds over multi-plate continents and submerged or partially submerged tectonic plates.

    6:58 It is not offcial yet but most likely the accurate number after the discovery of Zealandia, an almost entirely submerged land mass east of Australia. New Zealand, New Caldeonia and a few small islands in between are the only parts of the land mass that rise above sea level, is 8. The final classification of Zealandia hasn't happened yet and there are arguments both for and against classifying it as a continent, but as of now the majority of scientists seem to favour the classification as continent which would mean that Eath has 8 continents (Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Australia and Zealandia - from largest to smallest). It should be mentioned that the number of continents has varied over time as continents collide to form supercontinents (Pangaea was the latest one) that break apart again after a while.

    The counting of continents is the same kind of frustration shared with taxonomists, regardless of what methods of sorting we can come up with, nature will always come up with some strange edge-cases or exceptions leading to disagreements, so we come up with more precise methods of sorting which not everyone uses or agrees with, so we end up disagreeing on what the categories even mean and we end up with different answers depending on who you're talking to, like whether something's a fruit or a berry depends if you're using those terms in their botanical, culinary, or legal sense.

    The way I studied them, the continents are Europe, Asia, Africa, North America (including Central America), South America, Australia-Oceania, Antarctica. If you're really picky you could technically split Central America from the rest as well as Oceania and Australia. I've also heard the words Afro-Asian and Eurasian for language families. Given that the Suez canal is artificial and he division between Asia and Europe is very relative, I suppose the Old World could be considered one continent, the Americas or the New World another one, Antarctica obviously and I suppose Australia and Oceania could be separate entities. That would make 5.

    It’s not just that there are other Americas, but that there are other countries in North America. Canadians often share a similar sentiment. We often refer to the people as Americans (mostly because anything else is cumbersome), but I generally only hear Canadians refer to the US as America in a disparaging way.

    Certain words often are the tip off if you're Canadian...."House"..."About"....the vowel sounds can give it away. "You's" (plural of You...so say Canadians) is often considered Canadian...at least parts of Canada. Growing up in Northern Michigan, it was common for people in other states to guess I was Canadian. Of course if you say the letter "Z" as "Zed" instead of "Zee", that's a dead give away too.
