Funny, but #3 is incorrect. North America and South America do not start and end in the same letter.
The 7-continent model is taught in China, parts of Western Europe, and other English-speaking countries. The joint-Americas models are most prominent in Western Europe, Latin America and Iberia. The 6-continent combined-Eurasia model is preferred by the geographic community, Russia, Eastern Europe, and Japan. In all of these cases, the names Australasia or Oceania may be used in place of Australia.
In Canada the government-approved Atlas of Canada lists 7 continents and names Oceania.
Historians may use the 5-continent model in which North Africa is separated from Sub-Saharan Africa and included in Eurasia (Jared Diamond) or the 4-continent Afro-Eurasian (Andre Gunder Frank).

Interesting message. Didn't know those things.
I can very nearly, lick my elbow!
If the pig lies down on it's back, can it see the sky? (So that's why they don't fly! they don't know there's a sky!)
I think we should all call ourselves Mohammad and wear robes!
North America and South America are not the one continent, sorry ;)
