Scrabble Thought

[da]

I'm sure I'm not the first to say so, but: the English language never seems quite so much like it's made entirely of borrowed words, as it does when I'm playing Scrabble and all the words I can think of are not valid English words. Valid words, yes. But not in the dictionary.

Final score: melted_snowball 344, da_lj 223. I remember the last time I won a Scrabble game... it didn't involve melted_snowball ;-)

Those are archaic spellings for who, what, and whom, 16th-century, if i recall. Qat and qaph are rather limiting, if useful, q-without-u words.
