don' i feel stupid now. I have trouble spelling in the first place without the pressure of a timer.

I blame it on the English spelling of things, yeah thats it, different spellings, not used to it, :D (grasping at straws to explain poor performance :oops: );

I didnt think that the game on the show last night was very fair - first off the women giving the words didnt pronounce them very well and then some of the kids got a run of really long words as opposed to 'whelk'.
