they work hard.
If Indians are such good spellers, why do they spell "corn" as m-a-i-z-e?

If they are such hard workers, why don't we see them competing in the hardest working event (the marathon)?

That takes balls to tell such a horrible joke with your regular screen name.

Can you explain? I don't get how this is offensive.

Oh, I can tell much worse jokes than that.
Have you seen the spelling on this board?
You should see how they spell on the Indian letsrun forum.
because they man the f*** up in something that counts.

Since they can spell the english language you'd think they could speak it. Call customer service for any American company. Once you're connected to some indian good luck trying to understand a f u c king word they say!
Indians and other equatorial peoples are Black too. Over the ages pigmentation has developed for protection frokm the sun.
Letsrun really does have a lot of spelling enthusiasts.
German, Spanish and other languages don't have spelling bees because you write what you hear and you say what you read. The stupid ass English were invaded, raped and conquered hundreds of times. Each invading army and civilan settlers stayed for a long time and left parts of their language in that European septic tank called England. Hence the stupid ass english language is a bastardize unorgazined collection of utterings, grumblings, and screeches.
Oh you're so wrong. Don't know know it was the white anglo saxons who did all the raping and invading? Don't you carry the shame of what your ancestors did to every other civilization? Wait..so that happens to ALL cultures and not just the ones who enjoy playing the victim? Interesting.
HE ISN'T WHITE?!?!?!?! THEN HIS NATIONAL USA CHAMPIONSHIP DOES NOT COUNT!!! HE IS NOT A REAL US AMERICAN!!! TEGENKAMP IS REAL CHAMPION!!!
She is the product of her parent's goals
They hope she can be something like a neurosurgeon (according to website).
I've never heard of most of these words. If you had studied Latin, you might have a chance.
This was her 4th national spelling bee. She/her parents obviously wanted to win for a long time

not really true...i know two participants in the contest, including one winner, and the one that fainted
the truth is they spend about 10 hours over the weekend, and 1 hr a day during the week, not that much time at all actually...you probably spend as much running...and its fun for them...and what I've learned is that about 90% of the words each year come from previous years' lists, and about 10% are new....and its when those 10% come up that the top people go out at the end....so there is extensive studying of previous years words, and then general studying of other years words....and thats how it works
The English language contains the forensic evidence of language elements which chronicle the invasion and conquest of England. Take a look at the unabridged version of Websters dictionary for the roots of each word. English has the markers of each civilization that trampled and soiled it's people and land. That's why the language is so hard to spell. It was not designed, not authored by a central group of scholars. England never had the time to properly administer it's language as others had.
