Being unregionable.
It’s really such a small thing, but when I stumble across this kind of semantic slip, my peeve level starts to rise. This particular screen buried in the help for Apple’s DVD Player implies that Canada is — not part of North America proper, as I have assumed up until now — but apparently a territory of the United States. Hmm… that’s news to me. I think someone at Apple had the Contextual Generalization preference turned on when editing this document.
