Dictionary/word list: The French lexicon (ODS)
Posted on Wednesday, August 25 @ 06:43:23 EDT
Topic: Miscellaneous
The French World Scrabble Ass. publishes a new list of words (and therefore a new dictionary) every five years.

January 2004 was the latest change of lexicon. It included very close to 1,000 additions (maybe 500 are 8 letters or less).

The next one will be printed in 4 years for some strange reason (Jan 2008) when Quebec happens to hold the World championship. Their dictionary is much more expensive. $50 US if not a bit more. Club players usually renew it and save the old one for some beginner or family members that only play recreationally. Called "L' Officiel Du jeu Scrabble" (ODS), it is the only official word source for tournaments. (Up to 9 letter words and their "extensions", front and back).

Another popular pocketbook format word list, cheaper by far ("Mes morts en poches") lists all 2 to 9, with no definitions, but shows their extensions before and after. (We usually just show the hook letter before or after). Of course, in French, shooting a 2 or 3 letter extension in front of an 8 letter word happens once in more than 50% of all games).

IMITATION for example is preceded by L / DEL / AUTOL. The book also lists the anagram. Really neat.

Though France publishes the ODS, their dictionary committee have a representative of each major French country. Marcele Gingras is the one for Quebec.

In mulgore if you do not do wow power leveling this you will die when you hit a tent. Not very nice, nice big repair bills for me. In elywn you manage to hit a tree if you dont take them of so no damage which is kinda wierd.
Face wow power leveling first into a tree and no damage. hmmmm ^^
Jubling!
Basically this is a fat little wow gold toad which you can require. You have to be high level to obtain it. All you do
is throw 1 aion power leveling Dark Iron Ale mugs, another is needed for later, near Morja and her JubJub will appear. These ales come from BRD but they are tradeable to get a unique pet. They come from the bar area and it
normally starts aion gold a fight if you steal them. I am not sure if youc an buy them but clear the
placee cheap wow power leveling then take is a better idea. How ever, in the end Morja has a question mark over her ehad and talk to her and she will ask for another. Give to to her and she givers you a jubjub egg. This takes a week to hatch and then you can a wow power leveling truely rare and unique pet...
THE BEER!!!
From buy wow power leveling the drink salesman comes a very cheap beer. I stack up on his as it is the strongest ingame and also is extremely cheap. I make warcraft gold trips to mulgore just to get this on my ally characters. Well worth the
