Title | German Words Key to Winning Spelling Bee |
Body | The AATG listserv was abuzz last week with the news that the winner of the 2006 Scripps National Spelling Bee won by spelling a German word ("ursprache"), while another German word ("weltschmerz") caused the runner-up to stumble. Read an About.com article about the bee, and follow links to more information on German loan words, at http://german.about.com/od/vocabulary/a/spellbeeger.htm?nl=1 . The spelling bee results also inspired a humorous San Francisco editorial, available at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/06/07/EDGDOILM3B1.DTL&%20hw=Oh+the+Weltschmerz+of+it+all&sn=001&sc=1000 . |
