    Girl wins Spelling Bee + Cool Words

    http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7003045152


    Billings, MT (AHN) - It took 41 rounds and over 4 1/2 hours but Anna Rose Wright took home the top prize in the Treasure State Spelling Bee Saturday.

    Judge Lynn Sch****e says, "I have never seen a bee go this long, it was really remarkable."

    Anna Rose, 13, and Tim Best, 12, of Joliet battled it out in vocabulary and dictionary prowess for 25 rounds after the remaining 63 contestants fell out of the competition.

    Anna Rose, who is home-schooled correctly spelled "mumpsimus," - a person who persists in a mistaken expression or belief - and then snagged the victory by spelling "galenical," - a medicinal preparation made mostly of herbs or vegetable matter.

    The contest, which kept viewers and contestants in a seesaw of emotions, required the winner to correctly spell two words after their challenger missed one word. On two separate occasions, Anna Rose corrected the pronunciation of words.
    Mumpsimus! A brand new word to me, and such a wonderfully delicious word at that! One that I sincerely hope we'll see often on the OT foums, given how many of us persist in mistaken expressions or beliefs.

    Mumpsimus!!!

    Time to spice up our vocabularies. What are your favorite obscure words?

                    I am personally more offended by people from S****horpe, or S****s as they are affectionately known by some.

                      Damn I'm afraid to check if the c-word is censored at all.
