      Just to add a bit of confusion 🙂 I have always considered the word "ofay" to mean "be familiar" with. I have been ofay with the word all my life.

        @rayger - apologies but the reference escaped me - are you saying that CH is similar to ZO?

          @mistertoad Yes, I always use the UK list.

            @mistertoad No, I'm saying that the reason CH disappeared from your list was that for the game for which you supplied a screenshot you were using the American dictionary, which leaves out several words familiar from the British English dictionary, including CH and ZO.

              I would like to see the removal of some letters.
              Personally I find "V" and "C" very hard to work with.
              Also I struggle with more than one "I".
              There have been some hummings about a "snail based" (with wood inlay) word list.
              I've not seen this personally but I think it might be a good start at creating a new alphabet.
              Maybe a more organic feel. Without the rough surface of real letters and words.

                I think you have some excellent ideas here. Also, I would like to see the use of a dictionary composed of words that only i know.

                    @sparks most have no thought to be offensive. Some do it with only that thought. This is a word site and words have meanings. Maybe you choose to ignore the meanings but others don't and that is what you need to realize. Not a new hobby of Americans it is old to anyone around the world that is interested in words

                      @sparks Two i's allow for binocular vision tho. Could we have 2 instead of one? Snail eyes move independently so I don't think they have binocular vision.

                        @carolyn-leverich-atkinson : "Favala" with an a is not considered valid anywhere; not even in Brazilian Portuguese.
                        However, "favela" with an e means shanty town in Brazil and has been adopted into English (at least the online Collins Dictionary lists it).

                          @jrp32 Yeah that sounds good, it might compliment the "solitaire" version of scrabble they are working on in Iran now. Well people say they are but to be fair we don't have any proof, same as when we thought they were trying to make a "fair" version of monopoly in Iraq, we never found a thing.

                                @betterlate1-0 Just because you own lots of cats doesn't make you a cat lover.
                                You are simply a word Nazi. I used a capital "N" to avoid offence.
                                PS: It's ALL upper-case on the scrabble board.

                                  Thanks yes, I got the answer I wanted. Thus:
                                  "CH is in the UK list but not the US"

                                  Then the thread went a bit loopy. All the felines with snail eyes came out of the favelas, smoking fags, and began to party! 🙂

                                    @gretchen-hunter When referring to the toy (and probably when referring to a dolt), "yo-yo" is hyphenated. It is, therefore, unacceptable.

                                      "A yo-yo (also spelled yoyo)" (WIKI) - well, so they say! LOL

                                      Also - yoyo can apparently mean "You're On Your Own" when texting!

                                        Why is egoic not in your dictionary? It is an adjective stemming from ego

                                          @karinja, i know i am beating a dead horse here, but:

                                          1. The dictionaries used are illogical as to what "words" are and are not included. (Who wants to make the case for "CH" or "ZE" being words?)
                                          2. Lexulous administration does not control what words are included/dis-included in them.
