Is E I E I O a Word???????

Hello.  My name is Anne and I'm an addict.  I am officially addicted to Words with Friends.  It's not totally controlling my life.  I still make the bed, sew, cook, run errands and do everything else that has to be done, but the phone is never out of reach.

I have decided to call it continuing education.  Every game ends with a few new words I never dreamed even existed.  Actually, some of them haven't existed for long.  With all new technology comes new words.  The new Urban Dictionary also is full of new 'words'.  And of course there is entomology, zoology, agronomy, astronomy and a bunch of other ologys and onomys that I am not fluent in.  Also, the rules of the English language that we learned when I was in school don't always apply.  It is amazing how many words there are where 'u' doesn't have to follow 'q'.  And there are more 2 letter words than one can even imagine.  Thankfully, you can plug in letters and hit 'play' and if it is a word, off it goes.  If not, you just try till you find one that works.  The education part comes when you look up the weird set of letters that you just scored 38 points for.  Oh, BTW, I got 103 points on a word this week.

Now as Preacher's Wife qua chief cook and bottle washer, I am off to deal with the ort that wasn't shoveled into a maw. Then it will be time to close my eyne and dream of having a groat left over after a trip to Hobby Lobby tomorrow.
