Continents are big fucking land masses. This makes Terra Australis a continent. Oceania is a region, just as the Carribean or Meditteranian is a region. However, i must stress that i mean no disrespect to New Zealand or anything like that, but the fact is it's just not geographically big enough to be a continent.

Oceania smells like PC bullshit to me, but that's just my opinion. I was never taught that Oceania was a continent. I wouldn't put this down to the Education system over here being Australia-centric, becuase it's not. It's just the way it used to be taught. Hell, most of you tikes are still in school, so you probably know better. But in my day it was Good ol' Australia.
