In fourth grade, we had a classroom based spelling bee in order to determine who would advance to the highly esteemed school-wide spelling bee. I wanted in, but I spelled 'lightning' wrong. I forgot the first 'n' and spelled 'lighting'. You gotta be fuckin kidding me.
Don't feel bad. I was in an almost identical situation and spelled "banjo" wrong, only because I got nervous, spoke too quickly and accidentally said "g" instead of "j." Of course I knew it was a fucking "j," but they still threw me out of the bee. I know your pain.
