So are you a freaky spelling savant? Prove it. Beat our bee and get all the glory with none of the stage fright.All the words in the Channel One online spelling bee came from actual words used in competition at the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee. We'll read you the words-- you try and spell them. We'll even use them in a sentence for you, just like the real bee.
From now on, kids will be tested on the definition of words as well as the spelling.
The English language officially welcomes "initialisms."
OMG! LOL! The venerable Oxford English Dictionary approves of the three-letter, Internet-inspired expressions you use for "Oh, my God!" and "Laughing out loud."
