How can those be acceptable? How is it possible?

Rhetorical question I suppose. I would not suggest formulating a detailed explanation. It just goes against the grain for one like myself who has laid down many a Scrabble tile in his time. But obviously Words With Friends is not Scrabble.

I know. I thought the same thing on WWF.

You know they named their kid North right? Maybe you should call him Kanye Northwest instead of East, making his daughter North NorthWest. Now that's cool.
 
I almost used what I thought was the word verbage last night in a professional email last night and am very glad I didn't; in an attempt to keep others from the same pitfall -

Verbage - it is not a word and you come across as a complete jackass

Verbiage - it is a word and it means whatever writing you are describing is too wordy/and or too many big words in an attempt to seem more complicated than it is

I went with language. Be careful of these words GLers.

Good catch Bacon. That is one I always misspell also, and I use that word often...verbally anyway..
I think I knew the correct spelling at one tim, but had long since forgotten...thanks for the reminder.

Another one for me...I'm a fairly conscientious speller too but
all my life I have wanted to put an h in sarcasm for some reason. I have to be conscientious if I am not only using sarcasm (which I often do,) but typing it.

There is another word I tend to screw up if not really thinking about it. Forgot which one that is however. Let me know if you see it.
