Thanks, and I'll do my best. :3
Not quite that complicated...
Um....
Example: Subordination, electrification.
Something like theses?
Yep, that sounds about right.
I think your spelling bee was fixed. They wanted you to lose. That's how the world works.How hard will the spelling bee be? I got words like "misogyny" and this bullshit word "quesadilla" I could have sworn the judges are taking sides. This is what happened to my last spelling bee back when I was in 9th grade:
There were 5 of us, 3 9th graders and 2 10th graders who made it into the finals (If you win the spelling bee in your English class, you get to qualify for the next round. The next round is composed of champion class winners, so 5 will only enter if they pass this round, then you enter the finals). Pretty soon the 2 9th graders were eliminated, leaving me, the only 9th grader and 2 10th graders. Then we take turns spelling each word correctly until 1 guy got too excited and misspelled a word. Then the two of us fought pretty well, except that I stumbled on this word "Quesadilla", and then if the 10th grader spells the next word correctly, he will have 1 more word to spell and if he gets it right, he wins. If he gets the first word wrong, then the round is restarted and I survive. So I misspelled "Quesadilla" and that guy got really confident and misspelled "Camouflage" But then I got another hard word, and that word is "Misogyny" (a word I did not know back then). That guy got one easy word I forgot since it's so easy. So a 2nd place for me :/
tl;dr: That 10th grade guy bribed the teacher. He got words such as camouflage and I got words like entourage and somnambulism.
Jeez... and that guy kept saying I got the easy words. Well I'll say "Spell me finicky, desultory, inveigh, lollygag". See how much your spelling compares to mine.
Spellcheck proves these words are correct.
But the last one seems to be closer to what you're saying.
My favorite word gotta be "Defenestration" however.
It's a fun word eh?
Correction: Should I perform an act of defenestration on my laptop?
The mistake is similar to the usage of the word 'suicide'. You must say "I must commit suicide" than "I must suicide" (It works in internet language, but don't you write it on essays =/)
But I may be wrong. To all linguists out there, correct me if I misuse this "defenestration".
