What I do not understand, and this is why I play rarely now, is why people always try to end the game with words that end with "s" and what have you. One would think you'd want to keep the game going as long as possible, rather than ending quickly and reusing the same words over and over.

Its a battle for points.The goal is to make the next person use as few letters of your word as possible.And in the era of quick online dictionaries,it can be quite hard.

Ok then. Going by online dicitionaries, onslaughts isn't a word.

DaemianLucifer · Unread postby **DaemianLucifer** » 20 Oct 2006, 02:11

Actually it is.We already had that debate before,and I found out that onslaughts is legal.But some dictionaries dont have it listed.My pocket thesaurus has it,however.

Hey, there's no plural of onslaught!

Anyways:

Is that the coolest word, or what? And yes, it's in the dictionaries.

It's a typo. manufactory is correct.

edit: Beaten to it by theGryphon on both clarification and new word. Dammit.
more edit: I obviously didn't see that the thread was oving on to a new page.
