Subject: RE: BS: Scrabble conundrum
The official Scrabble dictionary came into being long after the game itself, so I look on it as a mere convenience rather than an integral part of the rules. While I agree that proper nouns make the whole thing pointless, I've always held that the players can agree beforehand on what dictionary they'll use. My family has usually used the OED, though I'll go along with a Scrabble-specific dictionary if other players insist.
