Professor Scrabble

Currently enjoying a cup of Gloria Jean's Butter Toffee trying to convince myself to go exercise...

And for today's post:


Words I learned from the scrabble computer player on my phone:


flaneur - idler; dawdler; loafer
steading - a farm, esp. its buildings
urial -  a wild, bearded sheep, Ovis vignei, of southern Asia, having a reddish coat.
jivy - (jive-y) -
gaol - a prison, esp. one for the detention of persons awaiting trial or convicted of minor offenses
uvelae - I'll let you look this one up yourself  
sice - (in India) a groom; stable attendant
bovid - Of or belonging to the family Bovidae, which includes hoofed, hollow-horned ruminants such as cattle, sheep, goats, and buffaloes.
stotinki - a minor coin of Bulgaria, the 100th part of a lev
aria - an air or melody, an elaborate melody sung solo with accompaniment, as in an opera or oratorio.

nairu - The lowest unemployment rate that an economy can accommodate without causing inflation

zin - a low palm-tree, the south-eastern corner of the desert et-Tih, the wilderness of Paran
qi - (chi, ch'i) The vital force believed in Taoism and other Chinese thought to be inherent in all things.

I thought this was interesting - the highlighted words are the ones considered misspelled by the spell checker, very curious.
