Is *nothing* sacred?

"Za," "qi" and "zzz" were added recently to the [Scrabble's] official word list 
for its original English-language edition. Because Z's and Q's each have the 
game's highest point value of 10, those monosyllabic words can rack up big 
scores for relatively little effort. So now that those high-scoring letters are 
more versatile, some Scrabble aficionados would like to see the rules changed 
-- which would be the only change since Alfred Butts popularized the game in 
1948.
