Scripps Spelling Bee

[mr_alberta]

So I was flipping through the channels and this caught my eye...I have to admit, I feel dumber after watching that show. I've never heard of ANY of the words they had to spell :redface:

The 2006 winning word is URSPRACHE :eek:

Congrats to Tofield, Alberta's own 14yr old Finola Hackett for finishing 2nd though!

Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go learn something or read a dictionary or something....

Yes she improved on her previous 16th place.

Amazing talent, especially in today's world where nobody knows how to spell.

[Chaloupa]

we saw it too! Absolutely amazing. I knew virtually none of the words...how on earth do you learn all that?!
