I was actually on a televised spelling bee show as a kid. Called “Spelling Bee”, it aired on 2&7 Calgary.

You Canadians are so clever - however did they think of that catchy title for the show?

I just watched Akeelah and the Bee last night and loved it.

OK, here is a word for you:

Fiver was thinking “smart alek”, from “smart elk”. An elk and a moose are not interchangeable.

I thought **Fiver ** was going for chartreuse.

Well, in a real spelling bee, we would be saying the words to you. So I guess the best alternative is to give you the phonetic of the word, and have you spell the word. Here goes (SAMPA phonetic coding):

/%Qn@%m{t@"pi@/

Try that one on for size!
