It's The End Of The World As We Know It....Scrabble Now Allows Names.
It's heresy! Scrabble has recently announced that it is changing its rules to allow place names, people's names, and brands. [blockquote][em]A spokeswoman for the company said the use of proper nouns would "add a new dimension" to Scrabble and "introduce an element of popular culture into the game".[/em][/p] [em]She said: "This is one of a number of twists and challenges included that we believe existing fans will enjoy and will also enable younger fans and families to get involved." [/em][/p] [/blockquote]My mom, who was a die-hard Scrabble player would have keeled over dead at this announcement. As it is, she's undoubtedly spinning in her grave like a centrifuge. How long before the Powers-That-Be at Scrabble allow random combinations of letters??
"I got 'NKSTE6Z5'- that's 720 points!"
