When you’re in a spelling bee and you miss a word, you never forget the word you missed and the proper spelling of it. Ever.

so true!!!!! 1st grade: I lost on “animal”… got confused and spelled it “aminal”. I’m still embarrassed!

kthread:

4th grade: I lost in the final round to Pat Rusert (I think that was his name) on ‘congratulations.’ My thinking was that we congratulate graduates, so those words should be the same. Still mad about it.

extraface:

6th grade. The reader said “Certify” and then used “Certified” in a sentence. I can’t remember which tense I spelled, but whichever one wasn’t the one they were looking for. The reader was my older sisters’ English teacher.

interrobangin:

my-kicks:

My word in 5th grade was “artichoke.”

6th grade. “aisle.” I didn’t even make it past qualifying, actually. I should have probably been in a slow class.
