Are you bothered by the new Scrabble rules?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I guess I'd be happy with the recent changes if I were blind though...

When playing at home, I have always played variations of the original game anyway.
I've always liked playing with a certain 'theme' in mind.
You can always disregard the new update and go by the previous rules.
Mattel said it would not be doing away with the old rules altogether. It will continue to sell a board with the original rules. So it really is just a matter of choice.

Hence, I don't have a problem with rule changing, but I'm still not sure proper names is that good an idea. I think it reduces the critical thinking factor and possibly makes the game too easy. But I'm sure it will be fun for those who embrace the change.

I understand most people play with "house" rules. But i for one like to play by official rules when i want some serious competition. And the whole proper names thing is kinda whack.
"Shoppe is a word"
"And so is P-Diddy"

I think I have mixed feelings on this one. One the one hand some of what is allowed or not allowed is pretty arbitrary. If the iPhone app is any guide to what it allowable, "Qi" is recognized as a word but "Zen" is not. That is very strange!
I think allowing arbitrary names would be going too far though. Can it be right to allows Calacanis or ssmacd as words? How will anyone ever know if they are real names or not? No one has a complete list of all names! :)
However if there can be a list of common place names and brand names that have passed into the language, that would probably be fine. Words like "London" or "Google" should be ok. But there has to be a clear line drawn and a way to check what's ok.
Place and company like "Rajkot" or "Zyxel" should not be allowed!
Apart from being difficult to check, they would destroy the level playing field, as people that happen to know a lot about companies or are from a country where high-scoring letters are often used in place names would have an unfair advantage.
