First misspelled word
Thu, May 29, 2008 - 8:16 AMWe've got our first misspelled word.
Mee Jin Park of American Samoa got a tough word: dentifrice.
He spelled it: dentifriss.
What the heck is a dentifrice? It’s a powder, paste, or liquid for cleaning the teeth.
Park isn’t necessarily out of the game. Spellers get three points in this round for spelling a word right.
To become a quarterfinalist, the results of this first round of spelling are combined with written test. Quarterfinalists will be announced before noon today.
