Scrabble dictionary

I'd been staying away from Facebook Scrabble.  I was ill for ages with the vertigo and could only manage turns every couple of weeks when my brain was in gear. Then, just as I was starting to get back to something approaching normal, it deleted all my games (many of which were getting near to a well-fought finish) as a side-effect of a crappy bug-fix. At which point, I rather lost interest.

However, I took a peek today and discovered that they've added a dictionary!  I can play a word like 'lur' and discover it's a form of Danish horn - at which point my brain goes 'ping' and actually remembers it from somewhere in context.  This is great!  One of the frustrations of Scrabble is seeing a word on the board and not knowing what it actually means.

Now, I can type in words like 'ennage' and instantly know that it's a printers term relating to the number of 'n's in a word.

Okay, who wants to start a game?

The only house rule is that you have to be prepared for me to take more than a week on a turn if my wrists turn bad or I get drowned in convention work. I won't force a win no matter how slow you play, but you have to do the same even if I'm occasionally weeks between turns.

Time is no problem, on lexulus it has taken me months to finish a game because of time differences. I won't nag but I hope to improve under your tutelage.
