@Tergenev
The definition of "continent" is potentially not the same in every variant of English and none of them are the same as the definition of "kontinent" in Swedish. Layman's English and geographer's English may disagree too.
What we call a "continent" is entirely a linguistic/semantic question, not one of geography.
I can't know if @LRRRonEarth 's argument was prescriptivist or descriptivist, but obviously either way that level of aggression has no place in a trivia thread.
