The Barrier Has Been Broken

[Hannibal]

I too shall concede something.
My original rant about dictionaries and the like, comes from an actual jelousy at Shatzy's meticulous form of play.
Be it with dictionary or not.
She plays quite well, instinctively enough to kill at times, yet smart enough to win.
I simply find loopholes when I realize that I myself cannot rise to such levels of play. (not to say that I have ultimately tried to do so, as that would require actually playing more than once a month)
But, since she was modest enough to concede her point, then I shall be honest enough to admit my jelousy.

no reason to be jealous, ass munch....
in one game, you single-handedly defeated 3
other players (myself included) at monopoly...
walked away with over $10,000 with nothing more
than the orange props...

also... from what i remember, you have never
lost a game of monops yet...

you may not play often, but when you do...
you are a MACHINE! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

ask yourself this:

what is a 'fainter'? could that be plural?

[Beta-Decay]

Literati is not scrabble.
Literati is gay.

[TastinGood]

Yep.

Fainter may be a word, but what of it?

use it in a sentence.

Then use fainters in a sentence.

[TastinGood]

Just think of it like a baseball team, Alex.

"The Cleveland Fainters".

See?

A perfectly legitimate word.

my sister wants to go to the haunted house,
yet, she's a fainter.
