Patrick Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 ... with my Grandmother and brother and they WOULD NOT believe me that gi is something! Is gi always capitalized? I don't think so... so then it qualifies. It wasn't in the dictionary we had... so I couldn't use the word! That stunk.

Gloi Posted January 25, 2002 Posted January 25, 2002 I'll bet they wouldn't let you have qi either and that has potential for a good high score. Darn these words being foreign! You need to play multilingual Scrabble :pony:

Tobias_Reece Posted January 25, 2002 Posted January 25, 2002 patrick Gi is a japanese word, so if you were playing only english words then it doesn't count I once put Id on a scrabble board and everyone said "you cant have ID, its short for Identification" I had to point out that these people should familierise themselves with Freud!!!!

SaiFightsMS Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 I used to love Scrabble. At one point everyone got tired of the same person winning every game.
