Because ladies and gentlemen, at the age of twelve, Samir Patel has earned a slot in his fourth straight Nationals. Among the words he spelled correctly:
- HUN-dreff: 5250 minutes, as compared to a year
- kore-nuh-KO-pee-uh: a whole wide mess o'stuff
- ESS-kuh-tahl-uh-gee: the study of Duncan Black's website
- uh-FAY-jee-uh: loss of the ability to swallow
- dee-HISS-uhnse: the process of rupturing, releasing an object's contents.
Patel immediately becomes the odds-on favorite to win this thing, but we've got two months to profile his competition.
