    Why would you think someone who knows 2 letter words a cheat?
    No one just "knows" all the 2 letter words. Hence the need for a cheat sheet, which you just admitted to using: "my version comes with a print out of them all."

    In the actual game of Scrabble, using any reference material at all is considered cheating. But you wouldn't get away with it if we were to play over the board.

    Is this guy serious?

    Do you accept “borne” as a word in Scrabble?

    WG, I suppose you think using reference material while playing in a live, over the board chess tournament is fair, as long as your chess software came with a print out?

    What does this even mean?

    You, more than perhaps anyone else on this site, do not 'know' me.

    If you did, you wouldn't say any of the things you regularly say about me.

    When Jesus said, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her," you would have done it, wouldn't you? And then you would have said, "What? He told me to! You heard him!"

    One doubts sir you own enough cravats to convince people of that...
    Let's see, a little word association, if I may...

    When I think of cravats, I also think of smoking jackets, a pipe, slippers, a wing-back chair in front of a grand fireplace in a den with cases of books lining the walls and a rich mahogany partners desk. Have I got the scene?

    By Jove, you are a figurative fly on my Study wall.
