It's hard to argue with someone who uses the phrase "It's a free country"
to justify the inappropriate posting of his political and religious
opinions to an international mailing list.

However, since it seems likely - from your repeated misspelling of the
word "lens" - that you don't actually possess a dictionary, I suppose I
had better clarify my use of a difficult word like "international". It
means "used by all or many nations".

I appreciate that this might be a difficult concept for you to grasp, but
do try.
