“The Scripps National Spelling Bee is a cornerstone of what we do as a company,” said Jeff Block, VP and divisional general manager of the E.W. Scripps Co.
“KGTV is proud to participate locally in America’s most successful and longest running educational program.”
San Diego has produced two Scripps National Spelling Bee Champions in the past decade.
In 2005, Anurag Kashyup successfully spelled appoggiatura. And in 2012, Snigdha Nandipati won the national title correctly spelling guetapens.
For those few who don’t know what these words mean, I googled them for you.
Appoggiatura — during the Renaissance and early Baroque musical periods, the appoggiatura was of moderate length, averaging one-third of the main note, and was more in the nature of a melodic than a harmonic ornament.
Guetapens — ambush, snare, trap, the act of concealing yourself and lying in wait to attack by surprise.
