@zoso-thezephead That's true. When the word is lowercased, it can have a derogatory meaning: to "jew" someone is to be extremely selfish in a financial transaction, tapping into the racist trope that Jews are, as a race, venal and primarily concerned with making money, perhaps taking advantage.
I note that "fag" is not allowed here, even though it can mean "cigarette." So, I see inconsistency in allowing one pejorative term (lowercase "jew") but not another (fag > homosexual).
@betterlate1 I've been here 10 yrs, so I realize how rankings work in general. But when one has played a lot of games, it takes more to move the needle.
I watched my opponent's clock re-set itself to 4 minutes during a period in about the middle of the game. The game quit, and I lost, when my clock showed 2 minutes left.
For ref, here's a screenshot of our game.
@betterlate1 my mistake, better. I was very surprised to one day see the censor mark next to your name, I couldn't recall anything unpleasant. But it's not there now, I have no explanation or excuse. Forgive?
@betterlate1 I only censor people who hint or accuse me of cheating. That's bullying, and there's so much of it going on that I've forgotten your specific details. Maybe I can un-censor you, and we'll see how it goes. We used to play a lot.

I entered tonight ranked 1897. Lost two games to an 1850-ish player, now at 1698. How's this thing work?!

I've been playing 10 years here, so have developed some habits to increase speed. on the old site, I could press the spacebar with my left thumb to rapidly reshuffle letters (a brain can recognize words pretty quick if they're shuffled a lot).
In this new game, I have to hit the Shuffle icon once before the spacebar can shuffle. Even one mouse click somewhere makes me have to re-click the Shuffle icon again before I can do rapid reshuffling.**
Needless to say, this slows me down a lot! Can you fix?
Thanks!
P.S. Html font formatting here in the Forum isn't WYSIWYG--for example, selecting text then clicking B for Bold just adds a pair of asterisks around the selection. I see it shows up as bold after posting, so that's good. 
After I click a player's name and then click Match, most of the Lex screen is blank white. All my systems are on auto-update.
