Default Scripps Spelling Bee

So I was flipping through the channels and this caught my eye...I have to admit, I feel dumber after watching that show. I've never heard of ANY of the words they had to spell

The 2006 winning word is URSPRACHE

Congrats to Tofield, Alberta's own 14yr old Finola Hackett for finishing 2nd though!

Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go learn something or read a dictionary or something....

Yes she improved on her previous 16th place.

Amazing talent, especially in today's world where nobody knows how to spell.
