Za, qi and zzz: Change the rules?

Never will be.

Sounds just like your replies to ES.

I'm beginning to think the lady doth protest too much!

I think she needs a few gratuitous scritches.

Ugh! Bleagghh.

Oooh! Since the correct pronounciation of UFO is "YOO-fo", does that mean you can use it in tourney play?

I know they don't care. I care. Scrabble is supposed to be about WORDS, not cheap two-letter combos that score you points towards the end when you're down to few tiles and usable spaces on the board.

As a matter of fact, UFO does appear on the list used internationally, presumably because it is sometimes written in lower-case letters and pronounced just that way, but it's not on the the North American list.

I know they don't care. I care. Scrabble is supposed to be about WORDS, not cheap two-letter combos that score you points towards the end when you're down to few tiles and usable spaces on the board.

But every one of those two-letter combos IS a word, with a meaning, "Scrabble" didn't make up them up. Each is found in at least one of three or four designated collegiate dictionaries. If you truly do care about the game, I encourage you to get a copy of Joe Edley's "Everything Scrabble". I have no doubt it will increase your enjoyment of the game, especially if you're currently mainly using two-letter words to shed tiles at the end.

Like I said, if I'm wrong, and all the two-letter combos are words, then ignore my complaints.

Can we ignore your posts as well?

Even better, subtract them from NotebookBoy's totals.
