[ the video flickers on to a table--it looks to be in Odin, where the Eleventh Doctor is sitting with one leg slung over the other, what looks to be a Scrabble handbook in one hand.

there's a game currently in progress, letters clearly seen. except they're a bit different from what you might qualify as letters. he flips to the last page with a huff and sets it back down, then laces his fingers together. ]

Now, if you lot have played Scrabble before, good! If not, you really ought to expand your board game database, it's really quite fun! Better than Monopoly--who likes Monopoly? Monopolies were outlawed for a reason.

Rubbish game.

[ oh, right, he should stop rambling. ]

So! Me and... myselves, Ninth and Tenth, are in a bit of a pickle: should "of Rassilon" be acceptable as a suffix? It's as commonplace as "ing" in the English language.

Sort of. Maybe. It's got to count.

I'm sure of it.

[ ooc: the other two Doctors, (andsowasi) and (tardisblue) will also be responding to comments, so don't fear if we skip someone! ]

You're absolutely sure about that.

[consults]

Grammar is very important, Doctor.

[PRIORITIES]

[tardisblue]

I've been trying to tell him that. You just can't mesh dative, accusative and genetive like that. They just implode when you do!

[amajestictale]

And you're talking English language, not Gallifreyan!

If we wanted English Scrabble, we could play that. But then everyone would know what we're spelling. Takes all the fun out of it.

[consults]

And you're asking the masses if it's right, since you know that we do not know this language, so you're just using it to your advantage.

[amajestictale]

[ that shit-eating grin says yes. ]

[consults]

Which is another reason as to why it wouldn't work, because you know that it doesn't work.

[see Doctor HE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW GALLIFREYAN]

[amajestictale]

I have a point, and it does work.

Might not apply to everything, but still counts in a few aspects. Where it actually is meant to count.
