Spelling Nazis

Lekhni is a big fan of the spelling bee.

… how do their parents realize their children are geniuses at spelling?I can imagine a scene when Mr. And Mrs. Agarwal return home after visiting friends. “You knowâ€?, says Mr. Agarwal, “that Rakesh Gupta is such a slobâ€?. Four year old Bunty behind them intones “Slob. S-l-o-b. Slob. Etymology, Irish. Meaning, Slovenly or Boorish person. Usage in a sentence – Rakesh Gupta is such a slob.â€?

Aside – Err, considering that the national spelling bee is broadcast on ESPN, do you think I can file this under the category of sports?
