"12-year old Ananya Vinay spelled "marocain" correctly to win the 90th annual Scripps National Spelling Bee."
We've all been there, done that... how is that word spelled and off we go to the dictionary to find the correct spelling. Even the smartest person in the world needs to make that trip to the book to verify the correct placement of those letters. From errors like "covfefe" to home-grown words like "supercalifragilisiticexpialidociious", it's a given that language and spelling it can be a difficult task.
I ran into this article and thought it would be fun to pass on. I am not picking on the USA because every country could be featured I'm sure. This is courtesy of Mahogany Turner-Francis at www.bookstr.com. I think you will find it interesting. I have trouble spelling some of words too.
