Shirlockc
if you can re7/36 then why can't you re7/36 pt?
11:13 am
MollyL
Satan, Santa, it doesn't like either end of the spectrum. I would say they aren't accepted because they are proper nouns, but Enable accepts some proper nouns.
11:13 am
Shirlockc
i think it takes satanic, which is rather silly if you don't take satan
11:15 am
MollyL
It only takes whatever words the stuffy, ancient Enable Word List creators deemed "acceptable".
11:16 am

We all talk about Enable but never do anything about it

I would think that were a new dictionary to be installed, we would add words, not take any out. I personally hate "whatever" but that doesn't mean it should be eliminated. Just sayin'
11:32 am
Shirlockc
i think merriam or whatever is the official one for scrabble
11:32 am
Shirlockc
for the most part we do scrabble rules
11:33 am
godthaab
Both Merriam and Webster are subservient to the Oxford.
11:34 am
Shirlockc
not OED, too many obscure words in there
11:34 am
Shirlockc
it'll drive us all batty
11:36 am
godthaab
Isn't that the point? Merriam (hardcover) does not have "anoesis" in it, (At least the edition I checked), but Oxford does. I think we want to include ALL words - more fun that way. Isn't that why we are all here. Aren't we all secretly logophiles?
11:36 am
Shirlockc
i admit to being a bibliophile and an anglophile but i draw the line
11:37 am
MollyL
Dr. God's email is dr.god@playbabble.com if anyone wants to contact him. I'm not sure he is willing to change anything here though.
11:38 am

if i were him/her ? i wouldn't change anything either
