 | | I spent all night writing it out, rehearsing how to pronounce it, researching the meaning, looking up "fl lung" and other related mining-related diseases. |
 | | The next day, at the spelling bee, sure enough, when it came to my turn to challenge the kid at the front of the class, I spoke, in a very deadpan tone, asking him to spell, "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis." The class shrieked and laughed. |
 | | The teacher said no way is that a word. |
