72 Temple Owl

hi scrabbler

7:12 am

72 Temple Owl

i seem to have lost the ability to see any word longer than 6 letters...

7:12 am

Scrabbler

I usually stop at 4 letters but look for an S.

7:13 am

72 Temple Owl

i generally look in one quadrant of the grid then move on

7:14 am

72 Temple Owl

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Hi Carla

8:02 am

MollyL

Is sensei a proper noun?

8:52 am

dan2bit

I think it's like a very honorific version of "Sir" or "Mister"

8:52 am

Dorens

teacher isn't it?

8:55 am

dan2bit

yes, but if i recall it is a title/form of address, not a concrete noun. you would say "Sensei Molly" but not "Molly is a sensei"

8:56 am

dan2bit

but it has been decades since I learned any Japanese

8:57 am

Dorens

I was thinking more like thank you teacher.

8:58 am

dan2bit

right, like "Sir" or "Mister" or "Father" for a priest

9:01 am

dan2bit

does anybody have stats for the lone A?

9:01 am

Dorens

ag4

9:01 am
