Spelling Bee

The National Scripts Spelling Bee is one of the greatest sporting events of the year. It pits brains and...well that's pretty much it. Brains vs. brains. I am completely enamored by the event mostly because I can't spell worth a dam (that's a spelling joke). The stress these kids go through as they stand on national television alone, just them and a panel of supposedly super smart adults who have the spelling of the word in front of them so it's easy to look smart, would make the common person crap their pants. It's surprising how many of the contestants left are of Indian descent. Here's an example of one of their names: Mouctika Paluri.

Here's a GREAT word i just learned.

hebdomadally: occurring every week

without missing a week; "she visited her aunt weekly"

On a related note, what's the deal with the word Biweekly? It has 2 definitions which appear to be in contrast with each other.

- Occurring twice a week

OR

- Occurring once every two weeks
