I find most of my students agree on the number of continents (naming them is a different story), but it is the number of oceans that has changed over generations. I learned four: Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. But now I’ve heard of an Antarctic Ocean as well. Unless students are just conflating it with the continent.
