Hindus and Moslems are presently settling the current United Kingdom and will dominate the islands in 50 years. English culture is a subset of the ancient Hindu and historic Moslem cultures. It's no surpise that a young Indian child has mastered spelling of a language not his own.
All these Indian kids winning the Bees every year! 7 out of the 11 finalists were Indian. And almost a 100% of them want to be doctors(ahem, neurosurgeons)! God bless these kids, they seem such well behaved compared to our spoiled brats!
Was the Indian a Navaho, Cheyenne or what? Oh wait could not be an American Indian the FBI would have shot them down on the set. Poor black child did not win, at least he will be awarded the country eventually, instead of shot down like an Indian.

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!
Never had a problem. The single worst call service experience I had was when the person on the other end was from the deep south with an accent you could slice and serve on toast. I couldn't understand a single word she was saying and I finally begged her to transfer me to someone else.

Kavya Shivashankar wins the spelling bee
her name is Kavya Shivashankar. Kavya Shivashankar. The other Indian finalists were Ramya Auroprem, Aishwarya Pastapur, Sidharth Chand, Neetu Chandak, and Anamika Veeramani. Look at those damn names. any of you still wondering why they're such good spellers and why there are so few Mike Smiths winning the damn thing?
Kavya is a female name...

Native Americans cal corn maize. Indians are from India.
however everyone in here is a hypocrite because that young girl was born and raised in America. Just like us.
Don't date that Indian chick who got 3rd (I mean, when she's old enough..), she looked crazy with those eye-rolls etc.
Since Indians can't say their W's (they pronounce them as V's) they could trip them up next year and ask them to spell WISCONSIN
"V-I-S-C-O-N-S-I-N......Visconsin!
Sorry Ms. Patel....that is wrong!
Indians are the Kenyans of spelling. Watch out!
Wow, awesome, they can spell English words that are neither known or used by 99.9% of the population. Sweet. What a waste of time to learn all that crap, I guess it's just to show how smart they are, which we already knew because they were Indian.
Oh, and I love how SPORTScenter covers the national spelling bee, yet won't even mention a new American record in the mile. Shows the sad state our sport is in in this country

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.
Do you really think France, Germany, Italy, the entire Middle East, etc., were never invaded? England's probably one of the less-attacked countries.

You're a damn embarrassment to your country. I bet you think Obama should apologize to the rest of the world for us forcing English on the world. I'd slap you in your pussy face if I knew where you were.
By the way, if the indians are so damn smart, why don't any of them know how to spell b-a-t-h?!
Hey Rombus - you missed the double Indian v Indian and corn v, or never mind, you missed it the first time so you'd probably miss it again.

Hey Rombus. Can you spell dumbass?! Go have a grown up explain the humor in the post you quoted. Then hit yourself in the nuts with a hammer since I'm not there to do it for you.
It's because they have so much practice spelling their own names.

The poor chap is probably an example of the American public school education.
England has only been successfully invaded twice in the last 2000 years - in AD 43 by the Romans and in 1066 by the Normans.
In contrast the states of Europe have been battling each other and sending invading armies into each other’s territories ad infinitum during that same period.
An good example was the 30 years war religious (catholic- protestant) war in the 17th century in which half the population of central Europe died as a result of the utter barbarity of the rival forces.
English, luckily for you Americans, is the International Language.
The airlines of 157 countries use English.
It’s the international language of business, science, education, politics - and pop-music, around the world.
At last count, I have visited 68 different countries around the world - and am I glad I speak English.
For instance, on a recent visit to Belgium, a country that has two languages, Flemish and French - at Brussels airport, I counted more than 50 billboards and posters - and they were all in English!
I know of no other language that one finds spoken in so many diverse areas of the world.
It’s the second language of choice to study, virtually everywhere
To the 38 Posters before me...
It's called "letsun.com" not "letsspell.com"
Do you know that statistically, there are more millionaires who cannot spell for shit than there are those that can?
Do a little research.
Take a look at your IT department. Indians, Pakistanis, etc...are smart.
