Spelling

The National Spelling Bee, which aired tonight, brings back memories of my youth. I competed in the ND State Spelling Bee four times in 5th-8th grade. I got 3rd place my final year, so I was close to getting to go to Nationals. I'm trying to remember the words that eliminated me each year, but the only one I can think of is 'querulous', and I believe that was 5th grade. I'll have to ask my mom what the others were.

    Fifth grade? That's pretty impressive.

    I participated once in the fourth grade and managed to spell "Nylon" before getting my butt handed to me by the word "Jewelry".

    I suck at spelling it (And oh, so many other words) to this day.

    Jewelry is not an easy word.
