My hat’s off to the young lady. Brava!

That girl is so good, the computer Spell Checker goes to her for help.....

[Hot Tabasco]

The idea that spelling a kind of a nut makes one a champion is ridiculous.

I'd ask you to spell one of the contest words but then I'd have to spell it out for you......
