I have a suspicion that you have an "insert name of market here" thing with the Spellympics, as when I was watching it, it said that it was being held in Calgary (where I live), when other signs clearly show that it is in the US.

Can someone clear up the picture on this?

I am only a mirage.

They definitely said Calgary on WTXF from Philadelphia, too. What signs are there that it's in the US?

And why would they have our National Grammar Rodeo in another nation?

Because it's in America Junior, stupid. Everybody knows weak events like Spellympics belong in America Junior. Or haven't you "ehs" picked up on Matt Groenig's hatred of Canada?

Hatred? Seems to me they just reinforce the "good natured but not too swift" preconception that most Americans have.

If they held it in Canada, they'd have to be careful not to include words that are spelled differently there! Would they deduct points if people say "zee" instead of "zed?"
