Hey, thanks for the notes. Yes, I just started here tonight. Possibly technically yesterday, which is what, two days ago for you? :)   Some people just draw me in, and I had a feeling I could jab you a bit. You are passionate about this, and that to me is so much more important (I will deny I said this later) than spanking and grammar in a discussion. Why? Because we have spellchecker, dictionaries, and Editors everywhere. But passion? There is not, nor will there ever be, "an app for that".

Hello :)  I just wanted to clarify what you mean by "racise", and gently add that if your intent was to accuse someone of being racist in only allowing people who live in the States to join a contest, that's an argument you will lose.  Race is not based on where you live, so if you want to throw a word bomb that is used excessively in the past few years, I suggest "xenophobic". Please keep reading, I am on your side.
          If this web site and everything here is available to people outside the States, and that is clearly stated? Then everyone who contributes to this site should be welcome to enter all contests, participate in all activities. So go make noise, make yourself "heard" - with words, of course.  But be calm, have an argument prepared... and while I hate this next bit, throw in "xenophobia". If non- Americans are occasionally left out and you are given no reason,  xenophobia is certainly not out of the realm of possibility.  Check your spelling, well written responses also get more attention. We can read faster when words are spelled correctly, so this obviously will also help you in being heard.

@GMOKC87 sorry, I said I didn't think it's 'racise' in the beginning just thought it wa strange. I didn't mean to offend in any way. And wups for the 'racise' part. When typing fast I mess up on spelling.
