Notes: Lisa writes: "I'm always entertained by what we call 'SCRABBLE® Sightings' - instances when SCRABBLE® games show up unexpectedly in real life. Working as I do in Advertising, the two worlds collided recently when I spotted an ad for a new car. The SCRABBLE® trademark has surely reached new heights, to wit: with the ad's headline claiming that this car was designed to deliver more than the competition, the selling point - as demonstrated with tiles on a SCRABBLE® rack - was that its name outscores the names of its competitors!"
