Which means that the offending numerical subtleties are in fact a tool to help readers become aware of Irwin's clever cheating along with his accent-laden adversary.

The use of the word "fourberies", is, in fact, a moral triumph in and of itself. So what if the plumber should have had seven instead of six tiles and so what if the fifty point bonus goes to those using all seven, not eight tiles. The point is that something wholly un-Scrabble was indeed going on, so such discrepancies serve to highlight that fact. For example, the word discrepancies violates the rule of i before e except after c, and so we know that we are still speaking English.<BR/> The concept of metastasis and cell phones also deserve lauds.<BR/> As far as the plot goes, (Plot? Plot? We don't need no stinking plot!) We see that the Butte/Bozeman conflict cannot end peacefully as the negotiations by word game have failed and the Butte-spew in its caustic glory is well on its way (Whitehall) to settle the Bozos' collective hash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
