Not clear at all. She puts a little hiccup into the CEE sound so it could be perceived as CEE-EEE. Listen to it again. VA - pause - CEA - pause - TION. I would have said it was incorrect.
I just did. She got robbed.
WRONG!!
You people don’t know spelling bees and how kids practice for spelling bees.
Each letter is pronounced to a set beat.
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N
NOT
V-A-CE-A-T-I-O-N
Her C sounds like CeeE but she is not saying the letter E by itself.
She spelled it right.
The judges are MORONS.
and you would have been wrong.
Ever been to a spelling bee?
I’ve never heard someone do what your claiming to hear.
If she commonly blended letters - than maybe - but I doubt it.
