Many of you know that I am an avid tournament Scrabble player. I'm also a member of the committee that compiles The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, and this committee is just beginning work on the next (5th) edition of this book. What we do is, we search through certain college-level dictionaries to find new words that have recently entered the English language.
Anyway, each member of the committee is assigned a specific section of the dictionary, and I was assigned N to R. Trained noticers will remember that when Barney Fife joined the Raleigh Police Department, he was put in charge of a portion of the fingerprint records, namely N to R. Perhaps this is one of those things beyond the ken of mortal man that shouldn't be tampered with. Paul Mulik P.S. Can anyone tell me who in Mayberry is known to play an occasional game of Scrabble?
