[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 233920"] The bottom line as far as I know in Scrabble competitions you use the Oxford Dictionary. At least thats what Universities like Aberdeen Uni and Oxbridge use for their competitions so with my faith firmly placed in the [i]British[/i] (and that includes Scotland and Wales) sense of fair play I believe that they use the Oxford Dictionary because it is the de-facto authority on the English language. TL;DR summary: if Vulgo or whatever the bloody hell it is cannot be found in the Oxford Dictionary then it isn't admissible as a word in the game... EDIT: that "official" scrabble dictionary I see is produced by the American Merriam-Webster group which doesn't have the reputation or the thoroughness of the Oxford dictionary. [/QUOTE]
