Re: Help Me Understand
Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat, meaning "the humans' land"; Danish: Grønland, meaning "Greenland") is a self-governed Danish territory. Though geographically and ethnically an Arctic island nation associated with the continent of North America, politically and historically Greenland is closely tied to Europe.

Re: Help Me Understand
Most of the geography stuff I know I just remember from elem. school, I don't remember us covering the canadian provinces. I'm pretty sure if I had a list of the provinces and had to fill them in on a map of Canada I'd do OK.
Also, have you considered that maybe you guys aren't pronouncing it correctly to begin with?

Re: Help Me Understand
Americans don't know much about Canada because Americans aren't taught much about Canada in school.
I bet you guys are taught all about America in school, right? It's because our country is so important to the world. Sorry to break it to you, bro.
