It is more fun to win Nelson.

Just between you and me, and Muffin, and Earl …

Can a grandson really refer to his grandparents as “You guys.”?

Made the mistake many years ago playing Scrabble with a guy who had just got his PhD in biology.Ugh!

Scrabble should be limited to words one would use in everyday life. “Qi” is Chinese and hardly heard. But Anglo Saxon scrabble might be fun.

Arye Uygur said Can a grandson really refer to his grandparents as “You guys.”?.Everywhere but the southern US where they are referred to as “Ya’ll”.

According to the liberals who run the country, we are no longer allowed to win or lose. Everything is a tie and no one keeps score.

WEIRD

“California new-agers adopted it into their health and lifestyle regime. "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I think that although they seem to have the same meanings, I think ‘regimen’ would have been a better choice.

Winning isn’t everything, It’s the only thing…

Anglo Saxon….pre Norman.

“Y’all” rather than “ya’ll” contraction of the plural “you all” never used as a singular pronoun by native speakers,

Tax Man, you are misinformed. The same ones who would wish you to not use words like that are also opposed to telling others THEY are wrong. If they try to correct you, remind them they are damaging your fragile ego. ₯ (I once explained to a well-meaning lady that my son’s life was more important than her opinion. I fear I hurt her feelings. HAD I let her take over my duty, I would not been a fit parent.)

The one who wins has the most fun. I guess she is the winner.
