How many New Testament scholars can spell the winning word of this year’s National Spelling Bee?
Thirteen-year-old Kavya Shivashankar of Olathe, Kansas, spelled “laodicean,” Thursday night to take top honors in the 82nd annual Scripps National Spelling Bee. The eighth-grader won $40,000 in cash and prizes for nailing the final word. The announcers gave the following definition: pronounced lay-odd-uh-see-an, meaning lukewarm or indifferent, particularly in matters of politics or religion.
