Happy 100th Birthday, Spelling Bee, are you celebrating?

[AviatorTom]

Today, 27 May 2025 is the 100th birthday of the Scripps National Spelling Bee in the US, which was started in 1925.

Do you plan on cebrating?

On a side note, are you a good speller?

There is at least one mispelled word in this post, can you find it/them?

I've just googled cebrating to see if it's an actual word, perhaps something to do with getting rid of brats. Sadly all I found was a lot of people misspelling celebrating.

I'm generally OK with spelling although I do slip up occasionally. I do admit to using little memory tricks like
Temperature- I'll loose my Temper at U and send you for RE lessons.

And blwyddyn (year) is basically "blow the man"

Luckily most words here can be spelled by the egg (wy) house (ty) big tits (dd) method e. g
Weather tywydd=house, egg, big tits
Mountains mynydd = my New york big tits
Restaurant Bwyty =big egg House.

@purplepoppy Well, 'Purple' you always 'come through' for me with the most catchy, answer to the most catchy, questions. Always looking for a new "Lit' input from you... You go girl !!

No. Yes. Yes. I get sick watching that sham of memorized slop. Or is that mesmerized sloop?

1. cebrating s/b celebrating

2. mispelled s/b misspelled

Sure, by remembering that I won my school's spelling bee in the 8th grade.

[AviatorTom]

@BCRanger10 Do you remember what your winning word was? I also won my 8th grade spelling bee, winning word was unraveled.

[BCRanger10]

I don't. Sorry 😞

I'm terrible with spelling. Using my word processor.

cebrating is misspelled. Celebrating is correct.

mispelled is misspelled. Misspelled is correct.

In school, if I made it through a round or two it was a win for me.

I am pretty good. I can spell receipt. (and that was without spell check).

I'm not from USA, but it sounds like an interesting celebration.
