Here at Vocabulary.com, we are big fans of spelling bees. Not only do we offer a spelling bee game on our site, we cover and live-tweet the Scripps National Spelling Bee (which included vocabulary questions for the first time this past year).
So we're excited to see that on Wednesday night, members of Congress and the press will publicly demonstrate their spelling prowess in the National Press Club's Centennial Spelling Bee, a reprisal of a 1913 spelling event called "Best Speller in the United States." Learn more by watching this video, and find event details here.
