This reminds me of the time I was in a spelling bee. My first word was easy, “funky”. But I didn’t hear the presenter correctly, and so replaced the n with a c.

I was disqualified from that tournament, and banned from all future tournaments.

I probably should have asked for the definition before spelling the word.
Too late now.
🤔

I was a good speller, but never got to Nationals. They use use words I never heard of in my time. How could anyone compete in something like that if you’d never even heard of a certain word?
