Smitha tells us about her tryst with the Spelling Bee, and what she sees in the contest:
Linked by sudipta. Join Blogbharti facebook group.I won our county spelling bee in the 6th grade (”pagoda”, ironically, considering that I went on to spend two years of my life in Japan), losing narrowly in the district bee on “pacificism,” more commonly known as “pacifism”–the proctor screwed up the pronunciation, and I came in 3rd, with 1st and 2nd going on to the state bee (2nd place lost on “podunk” and 1st won on “disappoint”…yeah).
