In an effort to internationalise the game, a group of nutcases periodically revise the allowed vocabulary. Scrabble vocabulary developed into a bizarre jargon claimed to cover words from other languages. If you only play with friends, use any dictionary without the word "Scrabble" on its cover. This blog is primarily concerned with competitive Scrabble and the incompetence of some of its custodians..

More about Harry

Harry is a unique character. You need to know him well in order to appreciate his real good side. Any person in this world has two images. The first image is a “projected image”, which is how a person is superficially seen by others. The more vibrant and smiling this image is, the more favourable are first impressions about that person. The second image is the “real image” of the person in question, which can only be found, if ever, after much interaction with that person. The difference between the two images decides on how good or bad a person might really be. When the two images overlap, you would be dealing with a normal trustworthy person.

Most people try their hardest to maintain a nice projected image. Harry is not one of those. If you rub him the wrong way, he would be quick to confront you without hesitation. This attitude did not win him many friends. In reality, Harry is a very thoughtful person who might lack the skill of how to sell his ideas. Once he is convinced that he is right, nothing would change his mind.

Harry is almost over his health problems. He would soon be back to normal. I expect him to be back to the scrabble seen in the near future. He would then continue to offer his own ideas, workable or otherwise, about how to attract escapees and new players. In the process, he might also continue to expose the inept super-nice “projected images”!

Last time I met Harry was in hospital this week, with a scrabble board. He did beat me in six games out of six. Admittedly, I have been in very poor scrabble shape of late, due to my dwindling interest in the game. But on the other hand, I was very pleased to see that Harry is now in excellent condition, on a sure way to full recovery.
