Spelling Bee

[guyver01]

Watching the show on ESPN2, and was wondering....

do the questions the spellers ask REALLY help them spell?


like... the word Monogoneutic.

it's definition is "Having but one brood in a season"


that dont mean SQUAT to me.

Don't worry they're all made up. Webster adds them to the dictionary after the bees.

they had one word, vorago... which means "chasm" or something like that...

It's useful to know the definitions of words in order to properly recognize the roots of the words. Knowing the Latin/Greek/German/etc. roots that the word is made up of makes it much more easy to spell the word correctly.
