I would love to hear what everyone's favorite words are from this year's Spelling Bee. I just posted about the winning word and another favorite of mine. Please check it out - A Walk in the WoRds: The Scripps National Spelling Bee - 2009 Winning Word

Also, please respond with your favorites.

Thanks,

I have no favourites, I am just sooooooooooo humbled by the young people in that bee. I thought that I was a good speller until I heard some of the words.

The way in which some of them are able to get to the word by asking for the root language etc. etc. is amazing.

If you haven't seen the documentary, 'Spellbound', you'd probably love it. It follows several spellers on their way to the national bee a few years ago. Wonderfully done.
