In Response To: A Few Responses on Offensive Language, Stick and Stones, and Political Correctness (Nack Ballard)

Nack, reluminate me. Are all words that are always capitalized in English excluded from the official Scrabble dictionaries?

Also, what's the highest scoring play you ever made in competition? And can you use euouae and twyndyllyng in a sentence ;-
