is being in the spelling bee nerdy?

No. Not at all. Not in the very least. No, no, and no.

Negative. N-E-G-A-you know the rest.

In fact, surveys show that spelling bee participants are rated among the least nerdy members of our society, right up there with movie stars, professional athletes, and supermodels. They are revered and respected. They are admired and imitated. They are beatified and bedecked. They receive their nation's highest plaudits and prizes. Most of all, they are loved.

Unsure? Just look at me.

That's right. You should join up. And you will.

Because you're cool.

Spelling Bee cool.
