Hi, this is Josh Levine, and this is Slate Sports Podcast. Hang up and listen for the week of

February 23, 2015. On this week's show, Grantland's Eric Raskin will join us to discuss the

boxing match that we thought would probably never happen with Floyd Mayweather and

Manny Pacquio finally set to fight this

May after five years of buildup. We'll then talk about Alex Rodriguez and Kobe Bryant, both of whom

are aiming for media makeovers as their careers come to an end. We'll look at the new rules

designed to make baseball speedier, and whether faster games will be any more exciting. And in our bonus

segment for Slate Plus members, we'll look at the latest twists in Deflate Gate, which has somehow

gotten more bizarre as we've moved on to alternate gates and miscellaneous Gazis. Joining me in

Washington, D.C. is Stefan Fatsis, author of the book's Word Freak and a few seconds of panic. He's

very excited about an alternate spelling of seconds of panic. He's very excited

about an alternate spelling of kayak this week. There's a certain glimmer in his eye,

bounce in his step. There's an extra ore in his... It's an extra cue. So how do you spell it?

Wait a second. We'll pause to let the people guess how you alternately spell kayak. All right, that's enough of us. How do you spell it? QA. J-A-Q. New word in the official Scrabble Dictionary. Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, fifth edition. Came out last summer. The new words are taking effect in competitive Scrabble next month. Two months. Is Kayak an Algonquin word? It's an Inuit. The Q-A-J-A-Q, I believe, is Inuit, because for the first time, the New Scrabble Dictionary included as a word source, a Canadian dictionary, the Canadian Oxford Dictionary. So a lot of weird... They're letting all these crazy dictionaries in. So how many, are there one or two cues in the game?

One.

So you have to spell that with a blank.

How many words are there that are just impossible to spell because there aren't enough z's plus blanks or whatever?

They're like a ton?
