olly old hand Registered: 12/18/06 Posts: 932 Loc: Auckland, New Zealand	Great collection of words. But do you have to be playing in the county specified to count them? I'd imagine you'd have to know the words first and then verify them with the 'official' scrabble book 'o' words.

Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1031 Loc: Lancaster, UK	It's a interesting list - somemof the words are familiar to me - especially the ones from the northern counties. I've never heard "Marlock" in Lancashire, though. Possibly it's common in the southern part of the county. Up here, in Northn Lancashire, they are more likely to say "laikin" for play, practical joke, etc. It is even more common in WestYorkshire. The word is Scandinavian, and in current usage in Denmark - prolly parts of Norway, too. _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise
