sorry for the rant but my daughter had a spelling bee this morning and was eliminated due to the dumb-@ss pronouncing it wrong. i felt terrible for her cuz she studied so hard and was eliminated in the first round. (and that wasnt one of the words on the list so i dont know what the heck they were doing) i know its no big deal just some spelling bee but it was a big deal to her hence a big deal to me.
again sorry for the rant but a spelling bee should be conducted by someone who knows how to speak english correctly.
