What a shame! Webster definitely needs to be notified... what was he thinking???

galadriel88 · 04-20-2002, 10:20 PM

Yeah...

I LOVE Scrabble! Once I beat my grandma, which was totally amazing because she is like, the queen of Scrabble! I only got 2nd place cause we were playing with my mom and she got 1st, but hey, who cares? I still beat my Grandma!!! Anyway, now I know all these Tolkien words and I bet I could use them in Scrabble sometime...

"Ent" is indeed illegal in Scrabble. You can use English words but nothing outside of English. Old English is not English.

***Khamûl*** · 04-20-2002, 11:01 PM

People probably wouldn't know that it's illegal, though. I've read LotR and I didn't even know that Ent was Old English.

Our Word spellchecker didn't know the word "Tolkien". I screamed when it claimeda that his name was not a word.

galadriel88 · 04-21-2002, 09:02 PM

Yeah well, the Word dictionary doesn't know alot of things. To me it doesn't really count as a true dictionary.

Helix · 04-22-2002, 11:54 AM

My word checker reckognizes "Frodo" but not Bilbo or even Baggins. Oh, well, can't have everything.

Helix · 04-23-2002, 12:20 PM

Ent ent a word cuz' it ent in the dictionary.

my dictionary has -ent but I dont tthink that counts. It means: a suffix equivalent to -ant in adjectives and nouns as in ardent, dependent, different, expedient

Notifying him might be a problem as he's dead...

Well no 'ent' in my dictionary.... Although we have the dutch verb 'enten' which does have something to making twigs from one plant grow on another.
