PopePiusX Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 They changed the law 5 years ago, no longer a punishable offence by law: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8604625.stm Proper nouns come into play in Scrabble rule change Mattel said the use of names will add a "new dimension" to Scrabble The rules of word game Scrabble are being changed for the first time in its history to allow the use of proper nouns, games company Mattel has said. Place names, people's names and company names or brands will now count. Mattel, which brings out a new version of the game containing amended rules in July, hopes the change will encourage younger people to play. Until now a few proper nouns had been allowed which were determined by a word list based on the Collins dictionary. In Scrabble, players try to gain the highest points by making words with individual letter tiles on a grid board. Each letter tile has a points value between one and 10, based on the letter's frequency in standard English. Various coloured squares on the board can double or triple a player's points. 'New dimension' Mattel said there would be no hard and fast rule over whether a proper noun was correct or not. Just because people these days are finding Scrabble too hard to play, the rules shouldn't be changed Mike from Brum 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". 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." However, Mattel said it would not be doing away with the old rules altogether. It will continue to sell a board with the original rules. Scrabble was invented in 1938 by American-born architect Alfred Butts. He later sold the rights and it was trademarked in 1948. Well that is what I get for being a f*cking smart-arse.

themaskedowl Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The fact Glenn Roeder said he'll travel anywhere... & it's China's top talent... & Roeder doesn't advise on 350k's = "I've heard we're signing dalai lama" I can't claim to be an expert or to know him but, I suspect his holiness wouldn't be overly keen about being called China's top talent.

Swiss Toni Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Dom Howson said this is probably just agents trying to drum up interest, doesn't look like there's anything in this one. In all fairness, I think we could have told Dom Howson that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
