Spelling Bee Time

I found an article a while back about a book telling kids how to be a spelling bee champ. Unfortunately, the article said, the book had three misspelled words in it.  The publisher of the book was great and, of course, owned up to it with a notice in each book sold. It made me feel so much better about the mistakes I find in this site, sometimes years after ( OK OK maybe months ) I post it.  Just now when I looked over what I typed, I noticed that I had to correct one of the most often misspelled words (misspelled itself.)

Ready for a bee?
