The Mum is absolutely right to make this complaint. The culprit, Ubisoft, the game's publisher, should re-label the program. I would say re-design the program to be age appropriate for kids, but if it functions with an e-dictionary included in the program, these dirty words will randomly pop up because they are in almost every dictionary. <br><br>The parents should read the instruction manual for the game to see if it allows for the blockage of certain words. The game should include the capability to block certain words, and a parent just has to sit down and block the slang and/or nasty words. With a little time investment, the parents can make the game suitable for their eight-year-old son.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Angiebaby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 8th 2008 1:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nintendo Scrabble Teaches Kids Dirty Words, UK Mom Says]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/12/08/nintendo-scrabble-teaches-kids-dirty-words-uk-mom-says/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/12/08/nintendo-scrabble-teaches-kids-dirty-words-uk-mom-says/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not related, but the colors in the Diamond Edition Scrabble boards are UGLY.
