magicicadaanyone else watch the finals of the spelling bee? that was an absolute blast.
i got at least 6 words. i stopped counting after a bit[1]. ironically, i did not get croquignole? which was also a word which our team failed on during the corporate spelling bee. ah well. i love english in all its strangeness, but i must admit that one of the words i got was straight out of my french class last year - douane. the tivo cut out before the grand finale so i was not able to give my try at weltschmerz(?), but the poet in me applauds such an appropriate final word.
[1] the 3rd whiskey - spelling intact but numbers failing.
