I play Scrabble six-eigth hours with fan every birthday, holiday, or free weekend we can get together. Yesterday, my husband whooped the shit out of us! 110 points with one word ended the first game. He had 600 points and the nearest we got was in the 300s. He had good letters, but had to play them well. My turn is coming. I’ll get the good letters and I’ll be focused enough to play them well. My turn is coming!

True story:
P#1:How do you spell tier, like towering? (and it had to be placed correctly to play the word)
P#2: i, before e, except after c.
P#1: on the squares he places the word incorrectly.
P#3: WRONG! and the spelling rule is repeated.
P#1: In downer tone… WHAT??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
P#2&3 repeat with exclamation: i, before e, except after c!!!!!!!!
P#1 extremely frustrated; defenses up/debate-on:
What???!!!*** That’s RIGHT…***T, IS after C!!!!!!
*We are now busting bellies laughing hysterically!We get what he has said but he seriously does not!
He says, with Full on defense, this is what he was taught!!!
i, before e, except after c!!!T, IS AFTER C!!!
We breathe long enough to explain how the english spelling rule really works, he shouts… stupid teachers, dumb language, no wonder I failed english, can’t read…reeling in the years speech, and I HATE THIS GAME… we roll on the floor, laughing ourselves into teirs, I mean tiers… or is it tears?!:)
Very funny, if you can get it!!!
QI cleared wide open:)
Better late than never to share.
