Reading this page made me realize how ethno-centric some people can be, Central America is a historical area, which was autonomous during Spanish rule and where people speak a distinctive type of Spanish, if people in the US (whose knowledge of geography is precarious) think Central America is part of North America it is purely because of ignorance. Besides it was Latin people who conquered the American continent, we invented this continent. 3:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
