SPELLING BEE NIGHTMARE: "NUMISMATICS"

  Congratulations to the recent winner of the Nevada State
  Spelling Bee, who had to get past the word "numismatics"
  to clinch the championship.  From the March 6th Reno
  Gazette-Journal:

  "Knowing how to spell ichthyosaur, the state fossil of Nevada
  helped a 13-year-old Fallon girl to correctly spell ichthyology
  ? a branch of zoology that deals with fish ? Saturday to
  become this year's best speller in the Silver State.

  Shankari Rajagopal, an eighth grader at Churchill County
  Junior High School, won the Nevada State Spelling Bee held
  at the University of Nevada, Reno. Before the winning word,
  she also had to spell numismatics."
