@jonbar18 so tell me what a continent is then? You can't say that x isn't y if 'y' is undefined. and if your going to quote me then read the rest of wiki 'but there is no standard of size which distinguishes islands from continents,[5] or from islets.[6]' or how about the UN 'An island is a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is above water at high tide'. Notice a pattern? There is no exact definition.
Now if you actually read my comment correctly before launching into your tirade you will see that I agree that the UK, Ireland and Haiti etc are island nations. You really think I believe the Americas are technically a continent but not allow the UK?..I was talking about the quiz itself. So for your benefit only i'll copy it to this comment with some added text for your understanding.
'If it's [the quizzes] 'island nations not bordering any other country' [the quizzes defining sub-title] then that should be specified, as it is [the quiz has now specified this [see above]]. So Haiti, dominican republic, uk and ireland are right to be excluded.'
I hope this clarifies this to you in a tone condescending enough as used by you in your comment to myself and Caius. |
