I had a spelling bee at my school and I aced the written work, got to the next level, and studied for it day and night.I was like 7 and I learnt how to spell "bibliography" and many other words like that. When we got there, and I had to spell out loud, I didn't get Bibliography, I got "Fiery" and to this day, I have trouble knowing how to spell words "ie" or "ei".
It's horrible.
