Quit the online game when it would not accept "unite" or "unites". |

My favorite secret Scrabble word is qat. It is a kind of plant chewed in some countries. |

Saw you response, Aqua. Thank you. ![]() PWpianistin, my apologies in advance if you deem this "too personal" for you; certainly feel free to ignore or protest as it suites you. I think your example can serve as a very good illustration for the questions I'm about to explore with participants here. Let's suppose that indeed you established a good understanding of work ethics by the age of ten. Are you proud of that fact? Do you deem your work ethics to be "above average" compared to others in your age group? Suppose you consider your work ethics to be "above average" ... after all these years of having "above average work ethics," are you satisfied with your employment situation as it is today? Do you see your own employment situation as the same, better, or worse than most others in your age group whom you consider to have inferior work ethics? Do you see a majority among your age group who seem to have inferior work ethics than you yet appear to enjoy better employment than you anyway? If so, just how big a correlation does "work ethics" have to do with gainful employment anyway? Are there better, more significant predictors of gainful employment besides work ethics? Are the millennials that "wrong" today to not rate "work ethics" as highly as their forebears did?

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
|
There is that, but eventually I think even the worst slacker realizes that their sloth affects others and slows everyone else down. |

That's crazy. How in the world will they decide which proper nouns to incorporate in the official Scrabble dictionary? |

Every player knows about the word “qat” by now. It’s the easiest word to form using a high point “Q” tile. We use this word in my scrabble group. I think it might really be a foreign word. If you like the game of Scrabble, see the documentary film “Word Wars”. Part of the the film focuses on some fanatically devoted tournament players. |

1. I'd say my work ethic is above some others, but I can't claim much else. 2. I work part-time shoveling sh!t at 2 horse farms and teaching 2 piano students - take a guess as to how my employment situation is. As terrible as it is right now, with my sense of work ethics, I can still say I am trying; I am doing my best to make money, unlike a lot of other people who think it's ok to mooch off mom and dad, and then the government. So, in a way, yes, I am more gainfully employed than others. 3. Employment + age group doesn't matter. Location, job opportunities and good work ethic matter. Therefore, I am relocating to find a job - something a lot of people in my age group and situation wouldn't do. Any more questions?

Isn't that a slippery slope? Gobs of English words were imported. Don't the rules state that you can use it if it is in the agreed-to English dictionary? |

I would argue that the easiest word to form using a 'Q' would be 'Qi'. |

As I remember, my sister found the word in her dictionary a few years ago and we’ve been using it ever since. Her dictionary is like 10 inches thick. Qat may or may not be in smaller dictionaries. It depends on whose house we’re in when we play the game and we all have a different dictionary. We don’t challenge qat if it’s not in a smaller dictionary because we know that's in the larger one. I suspect it’s a foreign word. So I guess we’re technically breaking a rule. I’ll bring it up the next time we play. It's a great word for a Q tile. |

It's in the official Scrabble dictionary. So is qaid. I think qat is some sort of herb with a mild narcotic effect. Qaid is a Muslim chieftan. |
