Exactly! Absolutely any combination of letters could be a proper noun. Are there any rules to regulate what constitutes a proper noun?

Noooooooooooooo ! No proper nouns. That just ruins the game. And who is going to be the moderator when someone puts their supposed friend 'Byqjk' on the board and swears it is their friend from Nigeria ???
All meds read like Scrabble stumpers anyway.
All the media is crowing about Jay-Z being a super point scorer, but I don't see anywhere that this new Scrabble Trickster is going to include punctuation.
That would be awesome, though: Give people proper nouns but create capital and lower case tiles and force players to correctly capitalize and punctuate. That would HURT.

It's all part of the slippery slope to illiteracy. The dumbing down of absolutely everything until ur Scrabble game will be all LOL and hahaha.
