Spelling Bee

[reds4ever]

WTF???

I'm watching the film/documentary and it's official, Yanks are mad!!!

Anyone else seen (or even been a part of) this slice of madness?!

[Zoid]

What?

[reds4ever]

They torture children by making them participate in spelling competitions, but, Yanks being Yanks, you would not believe how important it is to win.

ESPN even cover it

yeah spelling is more important than math or science

We like this contest in the U.S. because it allows girls to win.

The fact they don't know what the word means seems to count for nothing.

There seemed to be a lot of asian kids doing well....?

It's fun.

I am sorry, I didn't say "Rebel" or "Carpetbagger"... Perhaps if I use it in a sentence?

Is that from the Latin or Greek?

Yeah i noticed that too, do they just sit down and read the dictionary headings or what.

Reminds me of the kids on Countdown, Richard Whitely always asks them if they know what the word means, he knows they dont know.
