Ordnance vs. Ordinance

11:40 a.m.

Too bad for Nick Lade.

The speller from the The Medina Gazette in Ohio was asked to spell ordnance in round two. Apparently, he misheard the pronouncer and incorrectly spelled the word as ordinance.

The bee frequently uses homonyms and near homonyms, and it's the speller's responsibility to decide which word he/she is being asked to spell by asking distinguishing questions.

Too bad that Lade didn't.

  1. The pronouncer is supposed to (or maybe that’s been changed) announce that a word has a homonym.  Maybe ordnance/ordinance aren’t close enough?

    I was thinking of that when I saw Scott Remer get “discrete” with the obvious homonym “discreet”.
