Outdated Scrabble Dictionary

Scrabble's dictionary needs updated! Why can I play dork but not emo? This is not the 1960s! Apparently texting is not a word either yet there are billions of people doing it every day! -M.B.

I put down a great word that I use every day
But Scrabble says no, it's not a word I can play
The word list is outdated
My triple word, negated
I'm stuck playing words they said back in the day

Writing French Sounding Words With the Wrong Accent Marks

people who name their businesses with french-sounding words but put the accents the wrong way.

If you're gonna act French, do it right
Your accent marks are wrong, you ain't bright
You're not from Paris
So please just spare us
Speak the words if you must, but don't write

People Who Use Nonexistent Words

So, I can't seem to figure out how or when words like "alot," "atleast," and "irregardless" ever became real words.  Somehow they have since people seem to use them commonly these days, even in formal letters.  Can you come up with a limerick to ease my frustration and make me laugh?  Thanks a bunch!  - CS

I see letters that have these fake words
Not just stupid, to me it's absurd
Irregardless ain't real
It just makes me squeal
There's no brain in your head, just a turd
