Guess what the most searched "how to spell ___" word is in Wisconsin?
"In honor of the National Spelling Bee, which starts Wednesday, Google decided to see what words people in each of the 50 states struggle to spell.
To do this, employees looked at Google searches of “how to spell ______” in each of the states from Jan. 1 to April 30 this year. Whatever word filled that blank most often in each state became denoted as that state’s “most misspelled word.”
...People in Wisconsin, for example, most frequently searched for how to spell Wisconsin."

Wisconsin is the only state whose residents searched how to spell the name of the state they live in more than any other spelling. How embarrassing. I guess that explains why Scott Walker is heading for his third term.

My husband got an awesome education in a tiny village in Wisconsin "back in the day." This makes me very, very sad.
