Scrabble, one of the last bastions of grammatical purism in a world overrun by cell phone text abbreviations, is capitulating to the times.
The board game plans to add 3,000 new words to its official dictionary, including several slang terms like "thang" (9 points) and "grrl" (5 points) as well as pop culture touchstones, like Facebook and MySpace.
Turning the most heads is the inclusion of "innit," a condensation of "isn't it" that will earn you 5 points - and the undying hatred of any English majors who are playing along.
There's a new Chinese, Japanese, and Islamic term - should I care that no ebonics made the cut? Or any words of the illegal alien? What's the TexMex term for tunnel crossing?

Sad. Not the biggest issue of the day. But, sad just the same.
OMG, IMHO scrabble is NSFW + EPIC FAIL, LOL/ROTF.
