a quick spelling test

Tweet

The teacher told her class the word of the day was "dictate" and asked who could spell it. George raised his hand and he spelled out, "d-i-k-t-a-t-e." The teacher said, "sorry that's wrong" Then she asked Stephen. Stephen slowly spelled out, "d-i-c-k-t-a-t-e." "Sorry" says the teacher, "that's not right either." Next, she asked Fiona After a slight pause Fiona began spelling, "d-i-c-t-a-t-e." "Very good Fiona," applauded the teacher, "that's correct. Now," the teacher continued, "who can use this word in a sentence?" Stephen raised his hand quick as a flash shouting, "I know-Iknow," "OK" replied the teacher, "please use the word Stephen." Stephen responded, "How did my dictate last night, Fiona?"
