I used to love Scrabble, and in certain instances, I still really enjoy playing it.
But at the "competitive" level, it's really a drag. All those shitty little two letter words that are apparently acceptable......the "official" rules for Scrabble really ruin the fun of the game, if you ask me. When I play a casual game against a few of my friends, it's extremely enjoyable...but when someone gets all competitive and insists on using bullshit words that are technically acceptable......it just ruins the fun imho.
