Yes, someone please enlighten me on this Oceania business. I have heard it thrown around, but I just thought it was a difference in how differrent continents referred to the world or the name at different points in time. Kind of like the naming of the sea point of view. I hate getting into all the name changes especially if you learn it one way then it gets changed suddenly, so you have to teach the new generation the new name. I can relate it to the alphabet in spanish where I learned a certain name for the v, w, y and recently the Real Academia EspaƱola has changed their names also, the ch, ll are no longer part of the alphabet but have been placed in the digraph category. Fun times!
