Hawaiian words in spelling bee
The
Advertiser
editorial
today notes the inclusion of Hawaiian words (hukilau and kama'aina) in the U.S.
national spelling bee. I remember when
I was in grade school, long before I ever imagined living in Hawaii, I was in a
spelling bee that included the word "lu'au" (and like kama'aina this time, the
person spelled it without the 'okina and got it correct).
