Nihil Obstat Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 [quote name='Sacred Music Man' date='02 June 2010 - 01:37 PM' timestamp='1275503835' post='2122767'] *facepalm* Btw, I never really got why they had to have a "Scrabble Dictionary", though I can imagine the discrepancies over what's allowed to be played. People look to a higher power to see if the obscure word is legit or not. [/quote] Generally, I think you just need a previously agreed-upon authority to fall back on. Some dictionaries leave out more obscure terms or contractions or what-have-you. Plus the official Scrabble dictionary has a bunch of ridiculous junk that nobody ever uses. Zarf, for instance.

Oh, no. I'm wrong. Coffee. A Zarf is a holder, usually of ornamental metal, for a coffee cup without a handle. There was some other stupid word starting with a z that had to do with pizza.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 [quote name='IgnatiusofLoyola' date='02 June 2010 - 02:40 PM' timestamp='1275504042' post='2122769'] [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/rotfl.gif[/img] I'll wait for Raphael to rule on this one. But, I doubt the Magisterium has gotten around to ruling on Internet scrabble. In the absence of official rules, my "common sense" answer would be that as long as the words used in the Scrabble game, or the conversation during the Scrabble game, do not lead to impure thoughts or occasions for sin (no, "dirty word" Scrabble, for example), the mere fact that you are not in the same room when playing Scrabble means that Internet scrabble is more acceptable for unmarried couples than Scrabble in person. When in doub, a rousing game of "Crazy Eights" or "Yahtzee" is always acceptable.

Of course, the internet feeds Scrabble addictions even offline. The last thing we need is kids finding their father's Scrabble under the mattress and thinking it's the harmless celibate edition. Think of the trouble that could produce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappo Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 We tried to spell C-H-I-L-D But between the two of us and a few extra letters it came out C-H-I-L-L-E-D. And that's what we've been doing in Hawaii ever since . I'll post pictures soon, I have a wife to go read with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
