I have 105 left, been not bad so far. took a while to figure out the bottom N for my nbt/nbs, though

I should be ashamed to admit that I still cannot think in C so accustomed to thinking temperatures in F

1:07 am

that is literally a killing heat, I am glad to hear you are doing nothing at all except surviving.

1:07 am

a 102.2 F, flosey

must remedy that!!

1:08 am

grannyrose, i just read about a whole underground town in australia where it can be 122 above ground and 72 in the people's houses (without AC)

1:08 am

oooooooooooooooh, ugh, that is far too hot Rose, unbearable even

1:08 am

what sprite said flosey. is that warm enough for you?

1:08 am

hiya hursh

1:09 am

ah, hurshy, that would be Cooper Pedy. i plan on visiting one day.

1:09 am

hi, going to bed but just saw the thing about the heat

1:09 am

yes, that was it!

1:10 am

sleep well, hursh, and dream of pretty things

1:10 am

Sounds like our past summer - only a few days under 100. Sat in the AC all summer long. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it there too. I hope our coming summer isn't as awful, but if you're having it now, we'll probably get it again..

1:10 am

Night, hursh, sleep well!

1:10 am

*hugs Kam* Great to see you. How are you and your beloved?

1:11 am

*hugs* sprite, rose & flosey - we're ok. He's aleep on the couch, so I need to get sleepy..not gonna happen in the next 45 minutes tho

1:12 am

have you been able to process the disappointment a little?

1:13 am

hi there Kam - hope you can find lots of words in that 45 minutes then

1:14 am

He had a long day, this always happens. I'm a night owl. I've been plugging away at this for a while - about ready to list cuz I feel stuck

1:19 am

ks killed

1:21 am

I have half an hour left to play before I have to leave for my meeting

1:21 am

way to go Sprite - don't have a single one yet - working on Cs

1:22 am

am only halfway with those!

1:28 am

need 4 more here

1:28 am

gooooo flosey

1:32 am

just monkeyed eo7 - don't remember ever seeing it

1:33 am

it looks familiar to me... might be from another game though

1:33 am

good one to remember for scrabble

1:33 am

a game I haven't played for years

1:34 am

*giggles* And the other name for it: , tetrabromofluoresceinic.

1:34 am

I love scrabble. Used to play Words with Friends with some people. Petered out though.

1:35 am

I love all of the word games, but no one I know in person wants to play cuz I know too many Babble words, lol!

1:36 am

here we seem to play bridge more than anything else

1:36 am

lol, yeah, we are brutal adversaries

1:37 am

Even my daughter, the English teacher, won't play with me on WwF

1:37 am

awww :(

1:38 am

I feel bad sometimes, but this game teaches us more obsolete, weird, off-the-wall words than any dictionary could - I just tried to look one up - not in the dictionary, didn't go to my backup dictionary tho

1:39 am

I look up at least one new word every day, and try to remember it, lol.

1:39 am

I know!

1:40 am

good for you Sprite

1:40 am

mwah, the remembering part does not always go as planned

1:41 am

yeah... there is a term for that. checking the meaning of words. don found it. don't ask me... i forgot it as possible... loll

1:43 am

dictionaritis?

1:43 am

I'm simple, I just call it curious

1:43 am

that's a word??

1:43 am

hahaha, sprite!

1:43 am

nah, made it up at the spot, silly

1:43 am

*whispers, your secret is safe with me Kam *

1:44 am

well it is a great word....loll

1:44 am

*shhh*

1:44 am

1:45 am

that gerund end comes mighty useful btw.

1:45 am

yeah it is a good one today

1:46 am

and that C tile needs to be shot. some very weird words from it.

1:47 am

just found the one with the latin ending, lol

1:48 am

Cs capped

1:48 am

1:49 am

4:38 am

Hello, Flosey :-) Do you have the stats for the bottom N please?

4:43 am

Ah thank you found it!

4:43 am

4:43 am

sorry to be so slow, was in the kitchen

4:44 am

It was the plural of that one, Flosey.

4:44 am

No need to be sorry. Real life comes first :-)

4:45 am

I have 74 words left but have slowed down almost to a halt!

4:50 am

Bye

4:51 am

Hope you have a sweet sleep, Lynxxx. And thank you for the help!

4:59 am

Well 52 left for me to try and find later. Happy babbling everyone!

5:17 am

Anybody still here?

5:17 am

Hello

5:18 am

5:18 am

Hello over there, Ruby. How are you today?

5:18 am

morning ruby and scrabbler

5:18 am

Hi Buttonman. I would like to sleep another 1-2 hours but I have an appointment in about 2 hours.

5:19 am

l'm managing, scrabs l had a medicatl question for you the other day, but l've forgotten itt!! LOL

5:19 am

Hi button

5:19 am

wise

5:20 am

hi to both of u

5:20 am

lt is colder now than when l got up 5 hours ago!

5:20 am

Not so wise.

5:20 am

Wise enough!!

5:21 am

I just got a winter storm advisory on my phone, but just 3-5 inches coming. I want more than that.

5:21 am

thanks for the word scrabbler, finished off the w's

5:21 am

YW

5:33 am

fw and back to bed, good night - once again!!

5:34 am

Sleep well, flosey.

5:43 am

My dog stays outside while the housekeeper is here, but when she leaves, he rushes in to keep me safe

5:44 am

Good dog.

5:44 am

l am very fortunate!

5:46 am

eros

5:46 am

sorry

5:50 am

TY, I missed that one.

5:52 am

Hi and thanks, Ruby from me too. I'd also missed that one.

5:52 am

Hi Liz

5:53 am

How are you keeping Ruby? Haven't seen you in a while.

5:53 am

is it still hot there? l am dy*** for spring!

5:54 am

l'm hanging on; winter is very hard!

5:54 am

It's hot - a regular summer for us - nothing like the termperatures they

5:54 am

they've had in Melbourne.

5:54 am

Grrr! Typos

5:55 am

It sounds like a hard winter in Europe. Heard that Paris is on flood alert.

5:55 am

l'm on a new medication, faslodex (fulvestrat) and tthe shots are very painful and leave me so** and bruised for days

5:55 am

Ouch.

5:55 am

Hopefully, it will work

5:56 am

Oooh! Not nice. Is it down to poor administration of the injection or just huge needles? Whatever, I hope the new meds work for you.

5:56 am

Anaprozole was much easier, but it stopped working

5:56 am

Which meant you were no longer in remission???

5:57 am

Actually, the visiting nure is very skillful, but it's a lot of liquid & takes minutes

5:57 am

That wouldn't be pleasant. Lots of sympathy coming your way.

5:58 am

l don't know if you can call it remission after so many years, but we Watch the markers

5:58 am

Fortunately, it's the most common form of breast cancer

5:58 am

Ah - sorry to be so ignorant. But like I said, hopefully this new stuff will be good for you.

5:58 am

I just read about those meds. New to me.

5:59 am

Must have good docs to have access to new drugs.

5:59 am

l think it is a new drug, second line of defence after anaprozole

5:59 am

I passed halfway so I am done. Not a fun gr4.

6:00 am

The care is very good her

6:00 am

Enjoy the day everyone.

6:00 am

Bye scrabs! Enjoy the new snow

6:00 am

I've just listed with 70 left. Too tired to fight the gr4. I'll go as far as I can tonight and finish tomorrow.

6:00 am

Have a good day Scrabs

6:01 am

I'm glad you've got such good care Ruby. That's important.

6:01 am

l don't know how to list, just limp along and stop when it's time for scrabble

6:02 am

And l'm in th' system, so l even get 4 little massages a week

6:02 am

I select and copy the words I have in My Word List and paste them into Lickety's bulk add.

6:02 am

That sounds nice.

11:42 am

ty chrisk

11:54 am

good morning everyone

12:03 pm

is this a tough grid or is it me?

12:03 pm

there is a ge 5 word that is the last part of that is 8.

12:04 pm

They are all tough IMHO

12:05 pm

i guess i prefer the ones with lots of ea combos rather than i's. i think i find i's challenging

12:06 pm

i do find i's challenging.........

12:06 pm

I find vowels to be tougher than consonants

12:07 pm

for sure. but of all vowels the i and u are most difficult for me.

12:08 pm

I've got to the point where there are so many non-recognizable words that I list as soon as I've reached nbt, nbs and can't see any more

12:08 pm

u can be easier if it's un...otherwise yeah

12:08 pm

there are a lot of esoteric a words tho

12:08 pm

yup.

12:09 pm

i recall a grid with high 400's of words and it wasnt hard due to all the s, t, e and a 's. also r and n 's/

12:09 pm

yes, the scrabble rack with the most bingos is aeinrst

12:11 pm

it's words like the fa 5/28 that annoy me -- no way should that be in any dictionary

12:12 pm

also half words and prefixes

12:12 pm

you think it's a fa5/28 kind of word?

12:13 pm

Ultimately word dictionaries are like law...they rely on someone making a good argument and then it gets adopted :)

12:13 pm

yeah (another piece of slang that shouldn't be allowed)

12:13 pm

hard to come up with a good objective way to put words in dicitionaries

12:14 pm

this dictionary, which is from about 1998 or so, was basically the TWL98, or official scrabble players dictionary from 1998

12:14 pm

or thereabouts

12:14 pm

the issue is we have become so global. when i was a kid in the 1950s there were no spanish words being used in our dictionaries. nor yiddish words. i spoke yiddish but knew those words were not in dictionaries. now they are in the grid.

12:14 pm

they've updated it a bit since then, so now we have words like TIZ, EMAIL etc that are now good

12:15 pm

yeah, that's certainly a part of it mkg...and it should be noted this is the AMERICAN dictionary we're using. There's a separate "Official Scrabble Words" dicitonary based out of the UK, which is far broader

12:16 pm

the problem being depending on where you live, there is still no spanish, japanese, greek, italian, yiddish or anything else in common use

12:16 pm

I'm most comfortable with the US one, and particularly this version, because it's what I started with. I play Wordtwist as well, and that has a pretty exotic dictionary

12:17 pm

There's a lot of yiddish words that are pretty commonly used, or at least understood

12:17 pm

a fair number of spanish words too...

12:17 pm

There's a lot of French in the dictionary too

12:17 pm

yup. i went to connecticut and was amazed to go to a grocery store and see ONLY white americans. employees were also only white americans. i am sure it is like that all over new england.

12:17 pm

I imagine you know the Hawaiian words aloha and luau

12:18 pm

A fair number of maori words as well, though only nouns...takahe, kiwi, tuatara, kauri

12:18 pm

sauna I believe is finnish

12:19 pm

depends on where in country for yiddish words. i lived in seattle and once said to a friend "what a schlepp" and the friend said "what?" she never heard the word before. also went to see Annie Hall in seattle theatre and we were laughing hysterically and no one else was laughing!!!!!!!!!! you had to be a new yorker or live close by, and had to be jewish.

12:19 pm

I live in a bilingual country and very few people in the west can speak french -- isn't taught in our schools until grade 9 and even then it is an elective --- when I look at how fluent European children are in at least 2, if not 3 or 4, languages I think that is a crying shame and outright failure of our education system. What in the world is more important than good communication?!!!

12:19 pm

and gaelic and scottish...........one day there may be one international language.

12:19 pm

Indeed mkg...though I bet if you used the words schlong, kybosh or even verklempt, they might have broader understanding

12:20 pm

Agreed nan, I think I learned far more about English, from learning some French. Picked up some limited Spanish too, and had a few "aha" moments as I learned the words for things

12:21 pm

I do find verbs the hardest though. Listening to my daughter attempt to do past tense of English verbs, I realize how much inconsistency there is those

12:21 pm

i agree as to languages. start kids in K with a second language and they will flourish. i say start them with a second alphabet too: like chinese, russian, thai, japanese.........learning two alphabets is crucial and creates a brain that is much smarter. studies have shown this. we all know the hebrew alphabet and the english one. and two of my sons they picked up chinese and speak that too now and read and write it.

12:22 pm

done with this grid. 123 words only but enough for today.

12:22 pm

yes I agree - conjugations are difficult, but when travelling in foreign countries I've found that people are pleased that you will try to communicate with them and they don't really care if you use the correct conjugation.

12:23 pm

Although I wonder whether the Cyrillic alphabet might soon become more exclusive. Didn't Kazakhstan just make the decision to go to the English alphabet?

12:23 pm

Have found the same nan...and it's surprising how far you can get with a few words

12:23 pm

Managed to communicate with a Balinese person with broken english and gestures to find Drammamine

12:23 pm

12:24 pm

lol - biggest problem travelling was that we couldn't read the street signs in the Czech Republic

12:25 pm

Heh, yeah....and their pronunciation is so different from English as well

12:26 pm

Took me a few goes in Paris to get the taxidriver to understand my pronunciation of Montmartre...but we got there in the end

12:27 pm

the best advice I can give anyone planning to travel in Europe is to learn 5 phrases in the languages you will need: please, thank you, I'm sorry, how much? and how do you say? (assuming you have a finger to point with)

12:27 pm

solid advice :)

12:28 pm

I guess 6 things -- hello is important too!

12:31 pm

....and

12:32 pm

and "where is the bathroom?"

12:33 pm

there are signs in most places and "toilet" in some form or other is pretty universal

12:36 pm

street signs are an issue........japan is good to travel in as english is there a lot.
