    Yes, he really embiggened his role as consumer expert by using such a cromulent word.

    The made-up word "delinked" is not permitted in Scrabble. Either in the UK, or the nasty foreign US or "international" version.

    So there. :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I don't write a newspaper column. Is there any hope for me? :o

     Thanks to MSE, I've seen Citizen Kane, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Serenity for FREE! :D

    Would it be embarrassing to say I play scrabble online as the Mrs doesn't like it?

    Now I knew that you had a real competitive edge to you Martin, but I wouldn't have thought that you would go to such lengths to beat your beloved at scrabble. I think you need to apologise to her and grovel for a bit.

    Making up words? Next you'll be telling us you "accidentally" knock the board over when you're losing.

    I know I do!

    I'll blame you, Airwolf.
    I've tried to go on this thing but it doesn't give me new letters when a word is done.
    I see the commands at the bottom of the board on Help, but they don't appear on mine. It's just stuck on 'seek a game'. Other person began; I've done mine and now nothing.
    Lots of typos on the site, too.
    Help, please?
