Congrats to your DD10!!!
My DS8 SOOOOO wants to be in the County Bee someday. He's not eligible for 2 more years for that, but they have a younger kid's bee he participates in. Last night, he learned to spell "hors d'oeuvre" because it was a word his grandma didn't know how to spell over the holiday, so she chose to use "appetizer" instead. He said that next time she wants to write it, she can just call him and he'll tell her how to spell it.
Zarfkitty, have you checked out Merriam Webster's Spellit? It's an online study guide for the Scripps bee. Here's the link in case it's helpful.
