Are you saying I'm supposed to like it more?

The Tensor has a post about some big spelling bee, and it's pretty exhaustive with the words used. Ideally, I guess, spelling bees aren't about memorising all possible words; they're about learning linguistic rules so as to make good guesses at how things might be spelled. And then they try to freak you out by throwing weird irregular confusingly-pathed words at you.

The recap of what the winner said, at the bottom of the post, is also pretty awesome. Oh, little bullshit-rejecting mathbrained smartkid. Continue to rock.
