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.
