FREQUENT VOCAB ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS

In order to come up with the new CSW19, the total number of words added to CSW15 was 2862, while deletions made were 29.

Had WESPA or ASPA ever asked their collective members, not their representatives only, about accepting or rejecting the frequent periodic changes to scrabble vocabulary? Collins can make any changes they like, but do we as scrabble players have to accept applying them?

A change every ten or twenty years could be more acceptable. I believe that the community of Scrabble players have put up for too long with commercial exploitation, under the pretext of modernisation or moving with the times. Some cynics might think that kickbacks are involved in the chain of command.

I feel it is about time some splinter group would form and decide that Collins  2015 would be their last accepted change. They would continue to use it for word checking until the end of time! An end to scrabble vocabulary mutilation should be found before more players quit the game.
