Spelling Board

Famous quotes containing the words spelling and/or board:

    My spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.
    —A.A. (Alan Alexander)

    Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
