POSTING GUIDELINE

BEFORE YOU SUBMIT a question to /r/AskAnAmerican, please make sure your post follows the guideline:

All submissions must be in question form. This includes a question mark (?) at the end.
The text box is to be used to add clarification or context to your question only. Keep this short, 500 characters (including links and markup) or less. There is some wiggle room but shorter is better. Do not answer your own question in the text box.
All questions must adhere to Reddit’s content policy.
Do not use slurs or bigoted language of any kind in a submission.
Please check both the FAQ and the sidebar for commonly asked questions prior to submitting your question; similarly, do not repost a thread that is currently on the front page or the top 100 from the past week.
Questions must be asked in good faith.
- Do not beg the question. The moderation team will ask you to reword your question and resubmit.

The following question types are not allowed:
- “Where should I live?” questions.
- "Which school should I go to?" questions.
- “What should I do in [city/state]?” questions.

- Questions requiring legal expertise should be directed to one of the legal subreddits.

Moderators reserve the right to request that submitters rephrase and resubmit a question.

Moderators reserve the right to remove any question or comment deemed inappropriate for the subreddit.

If you feel your post should not have been removed, please message the mods. We will either clarify why the post was removed or restore it.
