    Occupy Scrabble

    Scrabble has been corrupted.
    How? All these two letter 'words' are valid:

    aa ab ad ae ag ah ai al am an ar as at aw ax ay ba be bi bo by ch da de di do ea ed ee ef eh el em en er es et ex fa fe fy gi go gu ha he hi hm ho id if in io is it ja jo ka ki ko ky la li lo ma me mi mm mo mu my na ne no nu ny ob od oe of oh oi om on oo op or os ou ow ox oy pa pe pi po qi re sh si so st ta te ti to ug uh um un up ur us ut we wo xi xu ya ye yo yu za zo

    Let's start with 'aa' - aa - Wiktionary - seriously?

    Boycott Scrabble today! Wake up sheeple!

    I've actually seen this on a sign in Hawaii describing the type of lava I was looking at in a volcanic site. As I am a keen scrabble player, I knew the word and almost took a photo of the sign just to prove (to folks like the OP) that it really was a "real" word.

    The problem is, many of these words, e.g. aa and qi are simply romanised versions from other languages..
    NO problem with words such as at, on, if, is, it, my,me - sure, there are a bunch of 'normal' 2 letter words, but certainly many on that list are certainly not something which I consider to be 'normal' english..

    re - Re - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - rubbish!
