The National Spelling Bee Ruins Itself

The big shame here is that the spellers are being asked to alter their approach on the fly to make the Bee itself look better. Learning the meanings of the words they will be asked to spell -- vivisepulture, succedaneum, pococurante, cymotrichous, guetapens -- won’t make these children any smarter, more driven, or more appreciative of language and education than they already are.
