Ordnance vs. Ordinance
Thu, May 29, 2008 - 10:29 AM
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.
