Mississippi’s speller hits the stage

Thu, May 29, 2008 - 10:41 AM

Shakeika Everett of Waynesboro, Miss., just stepped up to the stage.



The eighth-grader missed on “indolent.”

She spelled it “indulent.”

  1. Did anyone notice Sathwik Katragadda missed “cartel,“ spelling it “cortile”?

    “Cortile” is actually a word, though not the word Sathwik was asked to spell.  It means “an enclosed courtyard” and is pronounced “cor-TEE-lay”.

    It’s the word runner-up Prem Trivedi missed in 1997, opening the door for Rebecca Sealfon’s famous winning word “euonym”.

    Prem spelled it “cortille”.

  4. Many old spellers seem quite bothered due to the “bells and whistles” of the modern bee era. They believe the bee should still remain a solely academic pursuit without the features that are meant to gain a wider audience. Many were extremely perturbed last year when make-up was applied to contestants on stage.However, bee officials, in a quite effective attempt to market the bee to a wider audience, have stepped outside tradition in the past three years and looked for innovative measures. They know entertainment sells.
