This Round is a Bruiser

1:46 p.m.

The crowd just gave a standing ovation to Matthew Evans of Albuquerque,N.M., after he misspelled secernent. Evans was the sixth place finisher in the 2007 bee.

Six people have been eliminated in this round, but Akshat Shekhar from Roxbury, Mass. refused to be bruised by his word: suggilation.

He said, "S-U-G," then quickly, "I’m starting over."

Then he raced through it. "S-U-G-G-I-L-A-T-I-O-N"

No ding.

“Wow!”he said and ran to his seat and waved to the camera.

Suggilation is a bruise, especially one formed posthumously.

They know entertainment sells. Fuel Injector
