Alright, so usually, I'm the one who loses (fairly badly), so when I am winning, I feel it is my 100% right to do this. :D again.

I usually think I have a pretty good vocabulary, but more than half of the words in that final game were beyond me...
I seem to remember phone numbers easily and hate Scrabble.

Scriveyn 11-01-2010 11:23 AM

Same with me, usually good at vocabulary (passive anyway), but didn't know half of them.

Although the "Classic" version will still be sold, supposedly there's an upgrade (or dumbing down to purists) coming ...

Whattaya mean, "no no no?" I'd take "suqs" -- middle eastern bazaars, more than one of them. But then I do have a vocabulary.

All one needs is an exposure to a large enough dictionary.

Oh, and "cwm." Englished sometimes into "coombe." One of English's few borrowings from Welsh. Borrowings from Scots Gaelic are more numerous -- slogan, claymore, galore.

Yes, yes, you do. Unfortunately you use it like a caveman would use a credit card.

So does Zen. "Vocabulary off" anyone?

Urbane Guerrilla 11-17-2010 01:31 AM

Yes, Zen does. Mark of a man with an education.

Monst, you have but little taste and less discernment -- and you're determined to tell the world as much. Or is it simply your ideology reliably cockblocks your intellect? Tsk tsk. Mine does not.

Prove your contention or withdraw.
