    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.

      Language is both bullshit and fascinating 😁
