	Should also accept Ameryk.

	Isn't there some debate over whether or not the Americas were named after him or Amerigo Vespucci?

	Second the above comment. Accepting just the one answer in your quiz doesn't make it true. As the facts stand now, there is more evidence for the continents of the Americas having been named for Amerigo Vespucci (first reference 1507, in an addendum to a map of the New World by Martin Waldseemueller) than Ameryke (no documentation surviving that would corroborate the theory, which was first proposed in 1908).

	Are you sure that it's not named for Chuck "America" Norris?

	Vespucci is the correct answer.
