The 2008 National Spelling Bee just took place, and the winner was the kid in the video below, Sameer Mishra. But before he got to the end, he received a word that threw him off a bit:

Numnah

If you say it quick or just don’t “pronounce” every syllable, it could come out wrong.

Which is exactly what happened to Sameer.
