> last I looked America was a continent and not a country.. Last I looked, America was not a continent on MY map... however there is "North America" and "South America"...

Particularly the phrase "American attitudes", that to me suggests that the author is referring to attitudes here in the States that are somewhat different from the rest of the world.. not uncommon :-( ...
