Don't suppose for one minute that the rather pathetic Scrabble app for iPhone will know about these new words. It doesn't even accept zoos -- last time I tried, anyway. Don't suppose Martin wants to run a campaign for (a) a better Scrabble app with a proper list of Scrabble words and (b) an app to check Scrabble words which does not rely on an internet connection? Please....0
