I finally play a game and I get deleted... South Dakota is part of the United States. It's where Mount Rushmore is, the badlands, the black hills - National Treasure 2 filmed in South Dakota. I'll sit games out from now on... sorry to 'ruin' it...
Addendum. If I couldn't spell upwards, I would have understood that (I can't even remember the last time I played Scrabble - but I thought we were here to have fun? I didn't think it'd be a big deal), but my defense is in the fact that South Dakota is a state, and a very beautiful one at that.
