Both the Caspian and the Mediterranean seas also have land going around them.

But it is still separated by the Anatolian Mounts, the Urales, the Caspian Sea, etc.

Irrelevant. If you consider Europe, Asia and Africa to be separate continents based on those standards, then clearly North and South America should be separate continents as well, lest you fall into a double standard.

There is no natural frontier between North and South America. Panama´s thingie is not a frontier. The mounts form a natural frontier for continents, as well as seas. Anyway, In my case, America is the biggest contient. You should be proud of Canada ad Argentina

Just like the Americas are separated by the Caribbean Sea.

Consider that it is possible to drive a car between Europe and Asia, but not between North America and South America. How could this be possible if Europe and Asia are not, as you put it, "joined"?

Because there is an ARTIFICIAL channel. That´s not a real frontier. If there were no channel, It would be harder to travel from Europe to Asia without external media that it will be from North to South America.

No, that's the Americas. "America" does not literally mean anything so it's whatever it colloquially refers to, which would be the United States.

However "American" refers to the identity of a person from anywhere on the North or South American continents, just as "European" refers to anyone from France, Germany, Greece, Finland etc.

No, it doesn't, because hardly anyone uses it that sense.  Perhaps it doesn't make sense geographically, but it's the reality of the situation.

Just because hardly anyone uses it in that sense doesn't mean it's incorrect to use it in that sense. Appeal to majority will get you nowhere. Nobody ever refers to the United Kingdom as The United Kingdom Of Great  Britain And Northern Ireland, but that's still its proper name.

I hardly think one rebuttal means I will grow four arms. And anyway, I'm still right.

What's wrong with that? A person who speaks Spanish is called hispanic. As who speaks English is anglophone, who speaks French is francophone, who speaks Portuguese is lusophone etc...
