Interesting Facts

Monopoly is the world's best selling board game. (It is sold in 103 different countries, in 37 different languages. I wonder how many divorces it has caused.)

Scrabble has announced that under new rules, proper nouns will be allowed in the game. (To date the rules have been clear, place names, people's names and the names of companies or brands don't count. But now a whole new world (literally) of opportunity has opened up. I can imagine the new arguments that will arise on spelling, and validity.   We need a proper nouns dictionary.)
