There's no such thing as bad publicity

Another meta conversation, where the words we play in Words With Friends lead us to talk about Words With Friends, and even about the Words With Cousins blog.

Brett: Do you feel zees being scored at ten points is appropriate?

Lori: Hmm.  Yes.  They're hard to use well.  That is, unless you have an affinity for white zin.

Brett: Surely you kid.  Who doesn't have an affinity for white zin?

Lori: Haha, touché.  You're probably right about that.

Brett: Anyway, back to my original point, I feel like it's much harder to use a Q than a Z, but when it comes to the difference in points, there is none.

Lori: I see your point.  You could complain to the creators of Scrabble, but I don't think you'd get very far.  The forces that be might mute the complaint before it gets to them.

Brett: Well, they can rot in... I'd better not say it, WWC is a family blog.

Lori: Let loose!!  We might gain a whit of publicity!

Brett: That would be taking the blog in a new direction, though.  I think we need to get together and have a yea or nay vote before making such a drastic change.
