Australia and New Zealand do count. They come under "Oceania"!!!
Authorities differ about what constitutes Oceania which is more usually understood to mean all the islands in the Pacific, while Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea are jointly called Australasia.

I say we definitely need a "like" or "LOL" button for Chris's one-liners, as they invariably cheer me up

Aren't the polls a from us - for us feature, provided by participating ProZ translators?

The polls are a fun tool which generate discussion which are sometimes quite stimulating and sometimes, hey, they are even fun!

Considering the poster's name (Fernandes), I'd say he is Brazilian. In Brasil, we call "Australasia" "Oceania". This is likely why he added that as a continent.

Yesterday, I though it was because our colleagues in America were still sleeping, but it didn't change. Is it because Americans do not participate in polls?
