junior-scrabble.jpgZachary McAdam, a proud father of a 7-year-old daughter in the UK, was shocked that the word “lesbo” was found in Junior Scrabble 2007 of the Nintendo DS. Here’s what Mr McAdam says…

“We were stuck trying to find the last five-letter anagram so I hit the give-up option and the term ‘lesbo’ appeared on the screen. I nearly fell off my chair. The term ‘lesbo’ is a slang name intentionally meant to cause offence. I looked it up on the website dictionary.com just to make sure I wasn’t over- reacting and it described the word as a noun, slang, disparaging and offensive.”

At least his daughter knows a new word now via Gaming Today
