Title: The End Of The World As We Know It
Post by: TehBorken on Apr 07 10 05:29
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??

LOL......720 points

  Well for people that do not spell great (like me) this could work out fine.

    They should just leave it alone.

  They will not be releasing it in north america
