Petaluma Regional Spelling Bee, Corona Creek School, Petaluma, CA, March 14, 1988. The word: �nephridium”
Brenna Pierson, 11, McNear School: �N-e-p-h-r-i-d-i-e-m, �nephridiem.��
proctor: �I�m sorry, that is incorrect.�
Brenna Pierson, 11, McNear School: �Oh. Well then f*ck me, I guess.�
What are the chances that a thirteen year old girl would have covered enough world literary ground to run across an obscure Sweedish word like that in her young life?
Smacks of Figure skating style fairness hyjinks.
My spelling is artistic and pushes the envelope. 73s TG
LOL
While I’m questioning the appearance of an 11-yr-old using the word “f*ck” in a public forum, I must agree with her!
what ever happened to antidisestablishmentarianism?
ROFL
She should grab a hockey stick and start to play.
I like this kid.
I gotta say though, in my time, I’d still be afraid to go home after that. What I was going to get wouldn’t need spelled.
Hahaha good one.
… might want to look it up before U comment …

As for an eleven year old not using F* in public … spent time in a playground lately? (CA 1988)
Besides, it’s a joke!
I’m glad I don’t take spelling mistakes so seriously, I’d be a neurotic…like those that bitch too loudly about it. 😉
Well- I’ll be dipped in s**t!
