This is a follow-up to a question I answered. I was taught that the "contiguous United States" is the lower 48, and that the "continental Unites States" should be considered to include Alaska (once Alaska, also on the North American continent, became a state). Another person who answered the same question strongly disagreed, but said the two expressions are synonymous. Makes no sense to me, but it would be nice to find out what others were taught on this.
