Re: National Vocabulary Challenge
This sounds like the sort of thing I would have enjoyed, had it been around when I was in school. My 9th grade English teacher did a vocabulary bee at the end of the year-guess who was the last kid standing???? We were given a new list of words every week, and we had to be able to spell and define them. We were tested every Friday on that week's words.
To this day, when "Vocabulary" comes up as a category on J!, I will usually recognize many of the words.

I'm just a game show nerd.

So true, I am great at remember what words mean but not how they are spelled. I don't know whyTheCalvinator24 wrote:Vocabulary? MaybeShade wrote:I'm good with vocabulary too, I wish college students were elligeable. I would love to win 40,000 dollars toward my college tuition
Spelling? Not so much.

Proper verb tenses need work as well.Shade wrote:So true, I am great at remember what words mean but not how they are spelled. I don't know whyTheCalvinator24 wrote:Vocabulary?
