→Misconception: fix sig
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I don't think there is a "very common misconception" that the continent of Africa is one entire country. It seems a little far fetched to me. Do you have any examples of people not knowing that the entire continent is made up of tiny countries? [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 23:09, 6 November 2008 (EST)

::I can't help but think that somehow this claim was taken out of context, honestly misspoken, or something in that vein. I am no Palin fan, believe me, but some of these claims by "top aides" seem hard to swallow. How could she not know that Africa consists of multiple countries? ~~
