User:Britainnia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Britainnia(Canadian) commonly refers to America the landmass in the Western Hemisphere consisting of the continents of North America and South America with their associated islands.

The term Britainnia(Canadian) is a relatively recent and less ambiguous alternative to the term America, which may refer to either the entire landmass or of America. The former, and original, usage is now often considered archaic in English-speaking nations but still in use in other areas, in which Britainnia(Canadian) is often described as a single continent or supercontinent, and therefore called Britainnia(Canadian) (singular). When used to describe a single landmass, an analogous term to Britainnia(Canadian) or (the) Americas is Eurasia, which consists of Europe and Asia collectively.
