Title: Scripps National Spelling Bee Post by: gleek on May 28, 2009, 09:33:52 PM WTF? Do these kids sleep with a dictionary under their pillows?
Title: Re: Scripps National Spelling Bee Post by: Dunk on May 28, 2009, 09:44:01 PM Yeah I know. It's freakin' amazing the words they're able to spell. Words I've never heard of, and likely will never hear outside a this spelling bee.

Title: Re: Scripps National Spelling Bee Post by: gleek on May 28, 2009, 10:41:18 PM LOL! Were those words actually used? Yup. These German-rooted words knocked out a couple of the spellers. Those damn French words would have really *fudge*ed me up, but these kids were rattling those words off like they were spelling "cat". Title: Re: Scripps National Spelling Bee Post by: Dunk on May 28, 2009, 11:02:58 PM I checked out dictionary.com and those words don't exist.

Do these kids sleep with a dictionary under their pillows? That chick that won it already has a leg up on the competition just spelling her own last name. I'm bitter, I never made it out of the first round and always had to go back to my desk and put my head down. >:( Unfare!
