EW: As a rather avid geocacher myself, I wholly endorse the inclusion of the word "geocache" as an official Scrabble word. But not everyone's happy about it. It's not a very useful word, not a very common word, and redundant to a couple of other forms already in the pipeline. But a social media campaign by geocachers (including yours truly) saw to it that the word won the day.
And some folks are troubled: "I'm angry that my weird, nerdy hobby has been coopted by other people's weird, nerdy hobby."
This is bullshit. Let's get some ZA.

ReplyDeleteI pronounce "geocache" like "geoduck."
ReplyDeleteZA is already in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. http://www.hasbro.com/scrabble-2/en_US/search.cfm#dictionary
