My grandparents were ferocious scrabble players, and I grew up with the rules being "if the biggest dictionary in the house says it's not a proper noun, and abbreviation, or a foreign term, it's legal". I remember going out one time to get my grandmother a new Word Book, because hers was literally falling apart.
I don't play - not good at that stuff - but I know the basics.

@serenebabe We are a local newsroom in Boston, so what I share about international news typically comes from Associated Press.

If I talked to someone there, what do you think should replace "fighting" in this headline?

serenebabe ,
@serenebabe@mastodon.social avatar

@gbhnews hi! that makes sense. I'm not an expert, of course, but here's how I'd rewrite it: "1.3 million people trapped as Israel bombs Rafah" because that's the bigger news. Focusing on "Palestinian militants" is misleading, as if this a battle between equals rather than the domination of one over the other.

thanks so much for the reply! your presence here really does rule!
