    No, I think it should be added as an Olympic event for the Winter Olympics. Those theatres are always so cold!

    yes as long as it is done in American Standard English the world's language so as not to confuse different spellings. The words need to be very challenging like the olymics are and hopefully it will become a permanent sport there because spelling is a real sport for many.

    great idea squirrel

    There would have to be an agreement about different spellings

    from different countries for the same word

    Hawkeye Pierce brings up a good point, but I think it's only fair you should have to know both ways of spelling the word. lol

    color, colour

    realize, realise

    See? It could work!

    Well, why not, they now have golf. The only problem would be the accent. And which English spelling? The Queen's English or that other strange one made by Webster?
