Haha, same thing almost happened to me. I was apparently disqualified for misspelling 'calculator', and I was bummed out even though I was sure that was the correct spelling. I finally found out they had a tape a year later -- and sure enough -- I spelled it right. The judge just misheard me. Fsck spelling bees.

I've seen followers misspelled as flowers, from an AP History teacher none the less. I'm hoping that was more a result of spell check in Word being weird, rather than the teacher actually spelling followers as flowers...

Another case of Word spell check, but I've also seen peasants spelled presents..."Tough economical times dropped many presents into poverty." :laugh:

Well, I think the worse that I've seen was "feoncay". I took a wild stab that it was supposed to be "fiance" or "fiancee". I'm not so sure which spelling goes with which so I might not be much better off that the person who spelled the original word.:confused:
