WASHINGTON – The nation's capital always draws its share of protesters, picketing for causes ranging from health care reform to immigration policy.

But spelling bee protesters? They're out here, too.

Four peaceful protesters, some dressed in full-length black and yellow bee costumes, represented the American Literacy Council and the London-based Spelling Society and stood outside the Grand Hyatt on Thursday, where the Scripps National Spelling Bee is being held. Their message was short: Simplify the way we spell words.

Roberta Mahoney, 81, a former Fairfax County, Va. elementary school principal, said the current language obstructs 40 percent of the population from learning how to read, write and spell.

"Our alphabet has 425-plus ways of putting words together in illogical ways," Mahoney said.

The protesting cohort distributed pins to willing passers-by with their logo, "Enuf is enuf. Enough is too much."

According to literature distributed by the group, it makes more sense for "fruit" to be spelled as "froot," "slow" should be "slo," and "heifer" — a word spelled correctly during the first oral round of the bee Thursday by Texas competitor Ramesh Ghanta — should be "hefer."

Meanwhile, inside the hotel's Independence Ballroom, 273 spellers celebrated the complexity of the language in all its glory, correctly spelling words like zaibatsu, vibrissae and biauriculate.

While the protesters could make headway with cell phone texters who routinely swap "u" for "you" and "gr8" for "great," their message may be a harder sell for the Scripps crowd.

Mahoney had trouble gaining traction with at least one bee attendee. New Mexico resident Matthew Evans, 15, a former speller whose sister is participating in the bee this year, reasoned with her that if English spellings were changed, spelling bees would cease to exist.

"If a dictionary lists 'enough' as 'enuf,' the spelling bee goes by the dictionary, therefore all the spelling words are easier to spell, so the spelling bee is gone," Evans said.

"Well," Mahoney replied, "they could pick their own dictionary."

Di uncommon yan ang balita. Baka galing sa txt.

That's actually in the news this Morning. I would say some of that is probably influenced by text messaging. I would understand doing that kind of spelling in txt speak, but would not agree on that when it's on paper. Imagine having to review a resume in shorthand txt format.

hmm. baka texters. doesn't seem like they're jejemons or leet speakers, but closely related though. :anime:

 

[dchoc]

Did you read it? One of the protesters was a former (retired?) Elementary School Principal... I just noted Jejemons as a pun.

 

[KamenRiderZheneraru]

oh. i see. i read it. maybe i misunderstood that part. :sweat:

Just finished downloading Samurai Sentai Shinkenger the other day and I'm now on Ep 7... It's been going very well. No wonder folks voted Shinken Red as number one for SH Figuarts. He's awesome. Mako and Kotoha are hotties :thumbs: There's a lot more episodes to go and then the movies... :castlerock:

Adding to this... The suit actor for Shinken Yellow (Miwa Hashiguchi) is also a hottie... hehehe

I know... I got in late with Super Sentai... I've been watching PR before...

Most of the female suit actors are real hotties~

Oh... The Female Shinken Red... I haven't gotten to that yet... Is she Takeru's Half sister or what?

Shiba Kaoru...

NP... I though I had read that somewhere... Well, still have a lot more episodes to go through.... How's Goseiger or Go-onger compared to Shinkenger? Isn't Go-onger the same as Power Rangers RPM?

I never continued watching Go-On... I didn't even reach episode 15... Hanggang kay Hiramekimedes lang ako...

waw may Rising IXA na sya! d ako nagpreorder kasi. I'm contended na with my IXA hehe...

Trip ni kuya dalawang IXA para may Otoya na, may Nago pa~!

 

[dchoc]

Yep. Declared yung value. Y4800 pero marked as SAMPLE.



Ok na. Nakuha ko na yung SHF Rising IXA ko. Nothing paid sa customs. Just 35 pesos since disabled daw. Buti sumama ako.
Di ko pa sya binubuksan kasi kukunan ko muna ng pics MIB. Dala kasi ni Magnum yung digicam.

Did you get the re-released version or the one with the stand?
