    That is still how it feels playing Scrabble with my mom. She wrote for a living for years and is way too good at Scrabble.

      I like to believe I have a colorful and fairly large vocab since I grew up in a reading household and was obsessed with dictionary’s word of the day for years. However, I am an awful speller.

      I blame the fact that the English language is actually three languages in a trenchcoat pretending to be it’s own language.

      Sadly I’ve still yet to get “Bugles” on the board…as a word for points I mean, definitely spilled some in the past O.o
