> I’d find it weird if a European did. But from Americans it’s to be expected.

Absolutely nothing weird about it, I'd find it very weird if they wouldn't. I'm from Europe and my social circle has people from all over Europe.

It's really just the UK which has this weird usage of Europe.

> I’d find it weird if a European did.

I have bad news. The UK is definitely in Europe both geographically and even more so historically and culturally. Norway is too by the way.

If you are offended by people referring to the UK as in Europe, my suggestion is both an history course and starting therapy.

I'd suggest you level up your reading comprehension before suggesting the parent poster was in any way offended or in need of therapy.

Parent is suggesting it would be weird for Europeans to call the UK as in Europe which as a European I can tell you is preposterous. That’s the kind of non sense you used to hear from Brexiter. They will have no sympathy from me.

Yeah… I’m a bit surprised.

No no no you missed it, clearly Americans are just stupid.

Which Americans, North or South?

If Norway isn’t in Europe where is it? Asia?

Well, Europe is a subcontinent of Asia. A bit like India or Arabia.

No?

Europe is a subcontinent of Eurasia, as is Asia. Probably not the naming scheme in all languages, but this is English

> I was just commenting on the fact that in the UK, ‘Europe’ generally means ‘continental Europe’.

It really depends on who you're speaking to.

And on the context
