This is the Conversation Forum for Inhabitants of the USA << Overbearing mother? Subject: Bravo! Bravo! Take a bow! Posted Feb 8, 2000 by Blatherskite the Mugwump - Bandwidth Bandit   Posting 1 I was fairly certain I was going to find an article rife with stereotypes, as it is difficult to talk about a massive population without doing so. You however, have composed a well-written, informative piece which does justice to the American people without stooping to that level. As one American to another, I commend your efforts, and I would like to recommend that the editors give you a permanent post and a proper salary (for all that my recommendation is worth ).

I was pretty proud of that entry. If you liked that, I have a few more about the USA (the South and the Pacific Northwest) in my Guide Entry list. I'll be sure to pass your recommendation for a permanent post on to Mark and the rest of the team. Thanks again! - Dave Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Bravo! Bravo! Take a bow!

They don't listen to me on anything, and will probably reject you just to spite me. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Hmmm?

It also seems to neglect putting any pieces of U.S. history in the entry. Overall a pretty good entry but I still would prefer if the U.S. entry has writings from both U.S. citizens and others. I will assume you are not from the U.S. because you don't use American-English. Of course I could be wrong, since I'm told that all approved entries are not supposed to use American-English.
