Only in this world would they have 4th graders spell long words.
I think they’re in the fifth grade by now… and I remember some of the words we did back then being pretty dang long, they save the hard ones for the end.
I remember getting out on “ostentatious” at Regionals when I wasn’t much older than Millie. I spelled it “austentatious” and got buzzed out. I wasn’t too happy.
Did you hear/spell it with a Southern accent? 😉
I can’t help but think of this song.

We’ve seen it before; Felicia isn’t stupid, just shallow and mean.
Even though I hate Felicia. hats off to her: she spelled the longest word in the english dictionary.
hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.
Fear of really big words.
A word with no etymological logic. It means Horse-Monster-Monster-Boring-Fear, roughly translated.
That says floccinaucinihilipification! That’s wrong! It should be floccinaucinihilipiLIfication!
The actual winning word in the National Spelling Bee the year before this strip was “prospicience” (which I copied and pasted, and still got the spellcheck underline).
Perhaps they saw through your ruse.
This made me have a flashback to third grade. Our elementary school bee had 3rd to 5th graders, and I made the final two with a chance to win. I botched it.
If she beat the nerd doesn’t that make her the nerd?
love this
It seems that Felicia went to iron all her wool again.
