James called the less.”

Looking for tweets for aine.
sarra Words in Scrabble dictionaries are unaccented, like the tiles. That is, all virtual ones I use are so; I've not seen a real, paper one.
Yahoo must be lying about dictionary.com (I can't find any official mention of it, mind?), or else including all foreign words in its game — have you tried playing something completely outré that also appears in Kernerman's? Apr 22, 2008
rolig Sarra, I suspect you mean that aîné is a Gastwort, if not a Gastarbeiter (at least I've never seen it do much work around here), or has the diacritic-free aine also taken up residence in English, like some freeloader in a Chekhov play? Perhaps as a euphemism to companion derrière?
But that still does not explain why it is not in the Literati arbitrator, Dictionary.com, which lists other borrowings; hence, my exasperation. Apr 22, 2008
sarra It's acceptable in real Scrabble too. Aîné is French for elder (and aine, without the accents, groin!). It seems to be a Gastwort (see here) and nothing more. Which is a bit rude. Apr 21, 2008
rolig Literati is a Scrabble®-like game on the Web via Yahoo (http://games.yahoo.com/word-games). I'm surprised you don't know about it, bilby. You'd be a demon. Apr 21, 2008
bilby What's Literati, rolig? Apr 20, 2008
rolig I have no idea why Literati accepted this word. Dictionary.com, which is supposed to be the word-arbitrator for Literati, lists it only as a foreign word (in Finnish and French) via the Kernerman English Multilingual Dictionary. Apr 20, 2008
