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.
In Australia, it’s the opposite. I read “in another continent” the same way I read “in another country”. i.e. within the borders of another country/continent. I don’t hear people talking about being on another continent/country.
Is it “in another continent” or “on another continent” or are both fine?

Language is both bullshit and fascinating 😁
Would it sound weird to say “on another country?” Because that’s how it works in my head
