It was funny to see an article in the Thursday edition of the Victoria 
Times-Colonist newspaper about a Canadian national spelling bee.  One kid 
lost out by spelling "cheechako" as "chichako".  He was quoted as saying 
he'd studied that word, but didn't know what it meant.  It seemed he might 
never have heard it pronounced before either.
