So in other words, they're taking all the cheating they wiped out in the latest version of Monopoly and relocating it to Scrabble?

Do you also play Chess with slave labourers as pawns, economic rationalists as bishops, and an imaginary king representing capital?

Scrabble isn't about language, lots of the best scrabble players don't even speak english.

If that's the case, they should add dueling when you challenge a word instead of looking it up. Then things would be really awesome!

Hey, Smarty? You know words? Kind of the basis of language. Just because some players don't understand the language doesn't make it less about language.

My point is here.
That is all.

It's well known that most competitive scrabble players learn the spellings of the words in the scrabble dictionary but don't bother learning the meanings, mostly because they don't need to know the meaning. I've also heard that it's because it takes up memory space and they need all that memory space to remember to know how to spell a large quantity of words, but I don't know how medically sound that is.

So it's quite understandable that you don't actually need to know English to play scrabble, just the alphabet.

Then it's a completely meaningless game and its rules are of no interest to me.
