Dam scrabble dictionary I use on my phone and the computer I play against online. Can't swap my playing partner easily, lol, just have to be tactful when I occassionally win not to point out the subject of her masters degree. American Standard English I assume but the computer has been known to use Scottish words.

I used Hasbro's official Scrabble dictionary online and from what I can tell you are correct. It definitely rejects any combination of V and a vowel, and TV.

There also isn't anything on their official Scrabble Words List sheet that lists among other things all valid two letter words.

I guess The "VU" in VU meter is still considered to be an initialism.

TIL: The best way to keep my cat from sitting directly in front of my laptop all day is to place a heating pad next to my laptop. Honestly kind of embarrassed it took me this long to figure out.

I actually find them offensive. They're just sleazy, like brodozers but manscaped and drenched in cheap cologne, reeking of insecurity.

Trumpmobiles

I truly don't see the appeal.

coming from someone that ends up working in those more affluent subdivisions, most of the people that own that or similar also appear to be allergic to actual work. like shoveling their sidewalks.

cool, you spent $400k on your cars, and 4.5mill on your house. don't mind me tracking 3-day-old snow and ice from your sidewalk onto your $35k imported wood floor.
