Absolutely. It's important for the dealer to know. While various dealers
have different DQ "thresholds", I think it's generally felt that as a
dealer, you're not going to kill a word for one DQ--but if you've got three
who actually know a word, I personally think that's too many and I'd pick a
new word.

>> Perhaps a work-around would be for those submitting DQs to state the

Exactly. In fact, I DID that on Dave's round. I don't know why I looked at
the word and thought I recalled that it was a particular article of women's
clothing, but I e-mailed Dave and said that, and he wrote back and assured
me that I was thoroughly confused and was not a DQ at all.

When I've dealt, I've responded similarly frankly.
