Word Search of the Day

I knew this would happen. I’m a little casual about proofing my blog posts and I just knew I’d find some word of the day posts with misspellings. Here’s the first one. Chutzpah.

I was shocked not to find it when I put it in the search function. So I tried chutzpa. Sure enough, that’s how I’ve spelled it at least twice in the past. As Sesame Street’s Grover would say, “I’m sooo embarrassed.” Its even worse since I just twitted Sarah Palin for mispronouncing the word. (If your Yiddish you drop the c)

Hey, I’m a much better pronouncer than a speller. In fact, for better than a decade I’ve been the “pronouncer” at our regional spelling bee. Sadly, I’ve not been invited back to do the honors again this year.

Your word is disappointed as in, “The long time spelling bee pronouncer was disappointed not to be invited back to go through the dictionary once again. Disappointed.
