Skullker- LOL. Me thynks sumwun needs a dykshunaerie.

Should have asked how to spell midnight……..

Y?

It’s been about 30 years since I have heard that word! LOL

If memory serves, that word won a national spelling title for a young person some time in the 1950’s. I think the contestant was a young girl, maybe a 9th grader. Forget the show.

Ha! I learned that word in Junior High!

We had to learn that word in school when I went to school. It seems that it was a staple of schools to get us educated. I love the “I” and “Y” interchangement when asked to spell the word!!!

I don’t know but, the Skullker, just may be a genius at making up new words. Probably works for an Ad Agency. My-D-Nite that’s a cool word.

A comic conundrum – if he can spell it in a word balloon, does that mean he should know how it is spelled? Truth is, spelling wasn’t a solid “thing” until the printing press became popular.

Lesson: Confidence sells even if you are full of hooey.

Awesome, now spell ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’.

Actually it’s a word I’ve been able to spell from very young… but I still make mistakes with words with "y"s and "U"s and double consonants, and I was just putting a “u” in “consonants” until spell check corrected me!

Now try “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. (And no, I don’t know to spell this. I looked it up.)

He didn’t spell it properly.
