If you live in these states<\/a>. \u00a0Heh. \u00a0Makes you wonder about why those words are so searched for in the first place.<\/p>\n

Connecticut and West Virginia, explain yourselves. \u00a0Why are you searching enough for that word to register? \u00a0Either that, or your states are filled with spelling geniuses. \u00a0Can\u2019t say much about Ohio. \u201cBeuatiful\u201d gets me every time, despite it being such an appropriate adjective for my wife. \u00a0But then it looks like I\u2019m not the only one. Wisconsin made me laugh. \u00a0What are the eating in New Hampshire? \u00a0And is there something going on in Nebraska that I don\u2019t know about?<\/p>\n

Or course the kids in the spelling bee will be tackling words we\u2019ve never heard of. \u00a0Words that make chihuahua look like a walk in the park. \u00a0Even for this little wizkid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
