At the risk of sounding anal retentive,
I suspect that many have not bothered with your poll because at
best, your choices are ambiguous. For example,
if I were living in Belize, what is the correct answer?
If I was located there, either North America or South America and
Central America are correct because Central America
is part of North America. The same goes with the Middle East.
I believe what we normally think of the Middle East is in Asia,
but there are those who would include bits of Africa.
Hello Jim,,
Many thanks for your comments.
I think for the people who live in the region, I don't think there
is any
ambiguity, maybe only for people who are not familiar with them.
I have used standard references, the only exception being that I split
"EMEA" into distinct areas for better granularity. The Middle East is
a defined area, I would never connect it with Asia.
I think you may need to think carefully over "your" statement of where
is Belize. The following is a statement from the official "Belize"
web site.
"Belize has been recognized as a genuine Central American nation
by its isthmus neighbors"
In terms of poll responses.. It would have been nice to have higher
poll rate, But in terms of surveys 7% is excellent 3-4% is the norm.
If you want to take this simplex.. that's fine by me.
The poll was me being curious.
