I won the regional spelling bee when I was a kid. But I can't live without a spellchecker as an adult. Go figure.

I know what you mean Paul. Those kids are amazing. I was watching this little boy on Little Big Shots a few weeks back & he was amazing. This is the little kid. LOL He's ** 6 **!

Rather impressive for sure! Also, they really spend a lot of time studying words, pronunciations and the origins the words.

Have these kids memorized the entire dictionary? The competition in this spelling bee has become absurd in recent years
