I really AM becoming like OE. My question is ,OE, did you get a perfect A plus spelling average in your entire school career? I did.

Actually, I heard it was spelled "risqué". (With an accent mark). Am I right?

I don't remember-- I do have a trophy, though, that says I was once the best middle-school-age speller in three counties.

Yes, you're right, but I'm not gonna take a point off
for the accent mark because they're so hard to do in this forum. (the only way I know is to cut & paste 'em from somewhere else)

Or if you actually remembered the things to do them. I only have a few of those things memorized and sometimes I'm just too darn lazy to do them.

OE, did you ever compete in the National Spelling Bee? I made it in 8th grade, and it was a blast. Of course, the trip to DC was better than the Bee itself.

ALT 0233 will give you the é as in Rubén.
ALT 0169 is ©
And that's all I know from memory. :biggrin:

Actually I use ALT+130 for é.
é ¿ and © are the only symbols I've memorized.

Hey, congratulations! Getting to DC's pretty cool!
No, my school didn't compete in the National Spelling Bee. The one I was in was sponsored by the local newspaper. I was in it for three years running; I won for my school and my county all three years, and the second year I won the tri-county.
--OE, best speller in Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties a long, long, long time ago.

Why do I hear Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days?" Actually, OE I would imagine that you might
still be the best speller...
And this topic has just officially jumped the shark. :dontgetit:

I dunno about that... I don't think that my lucky knee socks still fit. :lookround:

Oh, okay. Knowing that there are video-game sounds in WBUL just makes it that much more brilliant to me... another subtle layering on the not-as-suave-as-I'm-trying-to-seem theme. Is that better?
Actually, I don't think this topic jumped the shark... it just jumped the
tracks. Derailed!
