Stupid dyslexia.
I was good. Ohhhh, but not good enough.
But they made me spell "Bananas". Everyone laughed when I was practically singing Hollerback girl. Couldn't help it... xd
What's that mean, Reese? O.o

Quote: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis- an obscure term ostensibly referring to a lung disease caused by silica dust, sometimes cited as one of the longest words in the English language. We had to learn it in fourth grade.

It's just the kinda things we learn at our school. That wasn't even the hardest thing we've done. neutral

WOW.

Apparently at my school it's a challenge for a 14 year old to spell bananas.
That was a finalist word, too. ^^

My final words for some of my competitions were apothecary and homogeneous and chancellor.
I laughed when a friend of mine got out on "sausage," his first word, just 'cause he didn't want to be up there. xd

xd I remember at the district Spelling Bee back in the good-old-days, this little ten year old dude threw a chair at me when I beat him. He couldn't spell "phloem." sweatdrop It wasn't even a final-type deal, and he got so mad. gonk
But the vocabulary contests were funner. "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia." heart
They actually used that at the state competition in 2003.

They want you to be the best of the best.
This talk makes me think of Akeelah and the Bee.
Such a cute movie.
