The one thing I do like about it is that it accepts the British spelling of sulphur (+ derivatives), which is more than can be said for the American Chemical Society.

Lol.

Why would the American Chemical Society accept British spellings? Who do you think they are, silly?

Why stop there... I mean, why should we crazy americans spell things in ways that make sense?  Now that is silly.

Well, we have to put up with "aluminum" in our journals so I don't see why the ACS should get so fussy about "sulphur" :p

I can't speak to that, that 'i' makes it a whole different word.  Not so with Sulphur and colour and other words of that ilk.

BTW, meant to give velouria a shout for running 3 bingos in a row on me a few games back.  That was pretty impressive.  And I still only lost by 30-40 or so, so it didn't make me feel terrible.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with Scramble With Friends, but there's a power-up that gives you some extra seconds if you find a certain three words. The words it just gave me were Anal Exits Stool. You could not make this shit up (pun definitely intended.)

Did you waste your extra seconds?
Was it a crappy game?
Did you flush your opportunity to win down the drain?

I'm not the world gold medalist at this game, but I like to think I'm decent enough. So I started keeping track.

I'm not trying to rub it in to either of my favorite opponents (I swear, I'm not). But I have some stats:

Since March 6th, 2012

Dan Vs. Veloria
Wins: 25
Losses: 11
Draws: 2
Dan avg score: 379
Veloria avg score: 364


Dan Vs. Butter
Wins: 22
Losses: 16
Draws: 1
Dan avg score: 392
Butter avg score: 384


So I win more than I lose, but I definitely lose a lot. And both are good competitors.

Nice, I didn't know you could access stats!  I need to get some for against C-fan... did you just keep track of that yourself, or is there a site for that?

Sorry, but I just kept them myself. Stats are the one thing that the game desperately needs and I really feel like it would be a simple bit of programming. But alas, there's nothing so I just did it myself.

For those of you I was playing, sorry I didn't keep up.  An upgrade at work made my life crazy for a while.

Is there a way you can look at older than the last 10 games?
