i still remember losing the spelling bee on “coercion” the fuck kind of word is that
i spelled “coertion” i think. i was a sixth grader and i’d never heard that word before in my life. if i had hung in there two more rounds..

-
this clearly ruined my life
-
but seriously what kind of a stupid word ends in “cion"
-
maybe I spelled it “coersion”? all i remember is the sheer indignation that it turned out to be a “c”
-
by the way you guys it’s really hard to practice for the spelling bee when your parents speak english as a second language :(

@sarahjeong If it makes you feel any better, I tested at having a college vocabulary in the 4th grade and screwed up on "purse" in the SB. -
@sarahjeong And clearly it's ruined my life so thoroughly that the steadiest form of employment I've ever had is/was as an "ecdysiast". -
@LaraPinkPony that is a GOOD word -
@LaraPinkPony my vocabulary has been enriched today
