    My only Scrabble-related memory as a kid was playing the word “rape” because I’d seen it online but didn’t know what it meant. Things got a bit awkward.

      A room full of adults yelling over each other for twenty minutes as they argue whether “Qatar” is a valid Scrabble word.

        Get an official Scrabble dictionary, ffs, people. There are rules for this.

          That seems like it’s taking half the fun out of the game

          don’t buy an extra dictionary, just pick any random dictionary you already have (or a dictionary website) and agree to it.

        It’s not. It’s a proper noun. Names aren’t valid.

        Of course it’s in brassica.

          Unrelated but, in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet the second gym leader is named after brassica and rapeseed in particular. I always thought the name origin was weird. I would’ve gone with a cabbage related name. Especially cause he looks like a cabbage more than a rapeseed plant.

            I can’t disagree, but I suppose he surrounds himself with olive and sunflower Pokemon enough to basically be an oil connoisseur.
