In a national spelling contest in America, an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her 36 voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and 37 decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 38 the word.
