      that’s some bullshit English has, come on, for fucks sake, it’s the same thing!!!

      I’m standing on a continent, but also in it’s boundaries. English as a language has a lot of BS, and this shit is hard for people’s who learned English as a second language.

      It’s tough to say definitively because there are a bunch of dialects, but in mine (west coast USA), “on another continent” is correct and “in another continent” sounds a little off.
