Twisting my expression into a mien of exaggerated annoyance and disbelief that Spelling Bee doesn’t accept “Gurning” despite the NYT apparently having previously run an article about a gurning contest.

Admittedly, obscure, but still a recognizable English word with similar roots to “invocation” and “advocate”.

Denied some points for an oldie-but-goody. Encountered this word back in college when I was on an Arthurian kick, and it has stuck w/me since.

Spelling Bee just getting its whole ass out again, not knowing a word that is familiar to anyone who has ever had to do maintenance on an old outboard boat motor and -aggravatingly- was a pangram.

Honestly not sure if I’m wrong and there’s no singular, or if Spelling Bee is just showing its ass again, but I suspect it’s the latter.

Appreciating that this is an olde fashioned term, still seems like it should count… it’s not a proper noun and I think it’s established enough in the English lexicon that it shouldn’t count as “foreign”…

Spelling Bee’s blind spots in scientific terms are strangely unpredictable. It accepted “iliac” but didn’t recognize “aniline”. Not like the former is less jargon-y than the latter.

Amazon thinking that buyers of the 33 1/3 on Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works might also enjoy a book on self-diagnosing autism seems a little on-the-nose.
