    Ever since I read The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles, by Julie Andrews Edwards (yes, *the* Julie Andrews Edwards), I’ve always loved papillionacious. Also, chrysanthemum and brush.

    …And that’s a rather excellent children’s book, by the way.

    Hooray! Thank you, GAPAs!

    Needless to say, I adore most words. The absolute froodiest words ever are echolalia and zwieback, since the moments when I discovered i’d spelled those both right were the two happiest moments of my life….
    There are exactly 12 words which I dislike, those being the words that i have misspelled in competition. They are, in chronological order:
    acquaint
    contagious
    shoal
    coral
    pedestal
    regatta
    pridian
    satire
    catenate
    gluttony (I misspelled that one on purpose, though)
    vertiginous
    and, of course…
    GARDEZ!

    Since misspelling gardez,I have also developed an extreme dislike for any words from French, or any relating to chess. i would probably hate any words with Zs as well, except that my love for zwieback contradicts that.

    The two words that i have extremely mixed feelings on are regalia and zugzwang. The first part of regalia looks like regatta, one of my least favorite words, yet the second part looks like echolalia. Zugzwang, a word which I always loved prior to the national bee, is now rather confusing because it is a chess term, like gardez, yet it is from German and begins with Z and has a zw, like zwieback.

    I’ll post a list of more of my favorite words later. I have a lot of them :-)

    10 – It still isn’t in Webster’s 3rd (or Webster’s Collegiate for that matter).

    My favorite word is sesquipedalian. It means a long word. I also like words from Welsh. One cool one that I found recently is hwyl (pronounced hoo-ill), which means excitement. Another cool word I found was purpure, which means purple. And I hate the word carnassial…

    I don’t have a good dictionary at this house. :( It makes me sad.

    Isn’t it sort of weird how names have mutated over time, and how many have been invented. I mean, ever heard of a Victorian girl named Kaylee? Or Kaylie, or Kaley, or however you spell it?
    I’m fairly confident about spelling normal words, but names are another matter altogether. There’s a girl in my acting class named Jenavieve. Spelled like that. And then there’s Erik-with-a-K, as I call him, not to distinguish his from any other Eric, but just because it’s funny. And on the field trip to TIoBE, there were two Haleys, both of them spelling it differently.

    I could spell my own name several different ways too. Allice, Alys, Alis, Allis, Allys, Aliss… The list goes on. But they’re all pronounced the same way.

I would kill my spnsor if they had done that to me….and doesn’t having their representative from this year (or last year or whatever you want to call it) make the semifinals and still having another year matter? i can’t believe that….can you write a letter to them or something begging them to do it? or something? They can NOT do that! That’s cruel! Maybe I’ll write to them…though I doubt they would care what someone who lives in a completely different partof the country thinks….but……GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

    90 – I’ve contacted them in several ways, and they still decided not to do the bee. It’s because they used to get more people buying the paper when they put in the Spell It! Now the Spell It! is on-line, and they can’t print the Spell It! in the paper. You see, the bee is really a business decision. There was a paper who was going to do the suburbs, but then Scripps said that they also had to do the city where they have no circulation whatsoever, so they decided not to sponsor the bee.

    Portmanteau words are cool. I used to think that the term portmanteau was cool. But alas, its French, so I now hate it.

    There are some nice French words though. I used to love gobemouche.
