You have piqued my interest, piqued.

[allismarie]

I learned how to spell 'piqued' the other day. Now I see that word everywhere; it's mocking me. It knew I was spelling it wrong the whole time, - peaked, peeked, p-something-d - and now it wants me to wallow in the embarrassment of my misspellings for sixteen years. Well you know what? NO! I will not be brought down by this. Thus

Oh man, that's nothing compared to me losing the fifth grade spelling bee. Coffee. COFFEE. I spelled it cofee. Still makes me mad. I missed bureaucracy during the seventh grade spelling bee, which is okay because it's a hard word. But COFFEE. I mean, I DRANK coffee!

I came in second in a grade two spelling bee because I misspelled "fifteen". I spelled it "fiveten". *sigh*

I misspelled "osmotic" on the regional spelling bee. if i hadn't done that, i might have gone to the nationals. le sigh.

[tinuviel15]

How did you spell it?

[freshbacon]

"osmodic".

That's how they pronounced it!

I was just the opposite. I knew how to spelled the word, but didn't know how to pronounce it. I would always say "pie-queued." Much laughter behind my back there, I imagine.

:D Aww. I can imagine. I was probably laughed at for misspelling that word when trying to write serious essays and the such.
