Well, we made through about six rounds in the Bee. The losing word this year?
Imprescriptible
Seriously. It's not in my dictionary. Spell check doesn't recognize it. I had to Google it when we got back to the office.
Still, it seemed easy enough to sound out. The team huddled for a moment to discuss strategy. I just needed to say each letter slowly and carefully.
I forgot the "s" - though I was certain I'd said it in my head.
And I think I may have said "able." But all I remember saying is, "Crap!" right into the microphone when I heard the groans and judge Johnny Burke's buzzer.
Oh well. Money was raised for the Imagination Library (most importantly), we had a good time and the Writers' Block got some new fashion accessories!

Aw. cute!!! Adorable! I LOVE it! The picture of the blockheads will certainly be going up on the fridge.
ReplyDeleteThat imprescriptible--golly! I've never heard of it before and like you said, "spell check doesn't recognize it" because as I type away at this comment now, it is underlined in red :( At least we're increasing our vocabularies. I am definitely adding this one to the brain as soon as I get hold of its definition.
Go team! What a super-duper-ific job--6 rounds of pure awesomeness and spelling like a maniac...and for the the IMAGINATION LIBRARY (whoops! I almost said "station." hehehee. Mark Kistler... :)
Great post as always mama Nancy!
