Here's another game for this nearly empty forum...

So here's the deal: I wanna practice for Game Show network's spelling bee this year, so I'm going to post the pronunciation of a word, and the next person to post it has to spell it right, and gets to post the next pronunciation. If you look up the spelling your a cheater and defeat the purpose.

Lets play


1st word is... puh-des-tree-uhn

And by the way, are you sure it's "..your a cheater."?

You're right, it's "you're," its also "want to" and not "wanna." Good catch, I've never been a great proofreader. And thank you for your reply, but you didn't post another pronunciation to keep things rolling. So here we go:

PAL-in-drohm
 
Does a spellchecker count as cheating?(just kidding).
palendrome?Looks wrong,but I'll go for it anyways. :laugh:
 
Palindrome

Reads the same forward and backward. Like "racecar ", "Able Was I Ere I Saw Elba" or "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama".

Hul-ah-bah-loo
 
Oops.Now you'll know what a bad speller I actually am.(Did I hear a gong? :laugh: )
Hulabalo?
 
Palendrome vs. Palindrome:

I'm not sure that it isn't the difference between English (British - UK) and English (American).

Yeah, the more I started studying for this thing, I quickly realized this was a vocabulary competition, the National vocabulary Championship....I probably dont stand a chance, but I learned some good words in here....does anybody know any vocabulary games? www.winwithwords.com has all kinds of study related material from the princeton review on how to pick up new words....

any other suggestions?

Crossword puzzles?
 
I am thinking that perhaps ...

we could start a new game that everyone can play, even my Mom!

Any American or British English word (depending on your translator capability). The word begins with the ending letter of the last word. The word MUST be 8 or more characters. It MUST NOT be a person, or a Public place.

In other words from you folks from Yorba Linda, no film stars, or fast food restaurants.

Spelling from both languages (Britain and America are separated by a common language - Winston Churchill)

Sole judge is the Forum at large. (should cause some discussion by itself ...)

What Say You?

First word:

Defenestrate

Wiki is allowed. Any research is prolly good research.

I dare you all to play!
