Fun fact: Scrabble / WwF will accept all forms of currency around the world. Zaire, Zloty, Franc. Every currency... :-P

as per wikipedia: "Acceptable words are the primary entries in some chosen dictionary, and all of their inflected forms. Words that are hyphenated, capitalized (such as proper nouns), or apostrophized are not allowed, unless they also appear as acceptable entries; JACK is a proper noun, but the word JACK is acceptable because it has other usages as a common noun (automotive, vexillological, etc.) and verb that are acceptable. Acronyms or abbreviations, other than those that have acceptable entries (such as AWOL, RADAR, LASER, and SCUBA) are not allowed. Variant spellings, slang or offensive terms, archaic or obsolete terms, and specialized jargon words are allowed if they meet all other criteria for acceptability. Foreign words are not allowed in the English language Scrabble unless they have been incorporated into the English language – for example, the words PATISSERIE, KILIM, and QI. Vulgar and offensive words are generally excluded from the OSPD4, but are allowed in club and tournament play."


Im just sour. Im sick of having people just go 'oh, I only have these letters? Eh, Ill just put them down in places and see what happens!' and thusly they put a single 'E' down in a corner, on a triple word score, and end up with 40 points because 'fe,' 'dex,' 'ye,' and 'de' are accepted words...

Heh, I know what you mean. Then there's all the people who use cheat programs.
