The Scripps National Spelling Bee’s study material for third-graders shows that this year, the plural of the word “woman” may have an alternative spelling:
The word may be spelled “womyn.”
The national spelling competition pulls its spelling alternatives from the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary, a spokesperson told Fox News, which was first to report the new woke spelling adopted by feminists.
According to Wikipedia, the word womyn appeared “as an Older Scots spelling of woman in the Scots poetry of James Hogg.” Now, however, it is a dog-whistle to indicate that the person using this spelling is a supporter of feminism.
The Alaska version of the spelling bee is a program in schools done in association with the Anchorage Daily News and business sponsors. In most states, newspapers sponsor the local contests and provide publicity for students participating.
The 2025 national spelling bee finals are in May, which is also the 100th anniversary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Haha remember that legislation that passed in California to protect bees.
We can now call this event a Spelling Fish!
I love this reality!

Liberals destroy everything!

Interesting given that NO woman has a Y chromosome to be found anywhere in her body. May this “accepted” spelling of this word go the way of Latinx.
Not so sure about that first statement.
The last time I had to go near the heart of Los Anchorage there seemed to be plenty of “women” that appeared to have plenty of Y chromosomes lurking beneath their makeup and pantyhose.
I heard Mad Myrna’s is a hot spot for the “Ladies” and is always riproaring with plenty of Bud Lite on tap after ASSembly meetings.
Oh Andy, those are the women with penises. How could I forget about them?🙄 Enjoyed yur reply.
Ef u sae eye kant spel u r a racest.
And that is how you guarantee a win at the spelling bee.
Let’s just make ’em stupider…
Everything a leftist touches withers and turns to ash.
Remember everybody, these are our future leaders and heads of industry. So it’s obvious with the left teaching this crap that the country is done. The economy is done and social order is done. It’s gonna be the wild wild West again.
The wokesters still have a problem, though. How do they spell the singular form? They still have to use the dreaded letters, M-A-N. Maybe they should just say, “wo.”
I’m going to have to go with canuck origins on this. They have some peculiar ways of spelling words anyway. Maybe it’s we who are spelling, the words differently, since we are just an offshoot of the english language.
I’m telling you people a world war is the only thing going to get this mess fixed. 20 million draft notices. We have a generation of deranged college grads teaching a generation of people with zero work ethic and zero integrity. 0 from 0 = 0
Start homeschooling before the kids get dumber
Update your Newspeak dictionary to reflect the Korekt version, comrades!
Why do people say YOLO when ‘carpe diem’ still works? Why call jewelry bling? Why call a home a crib? BURN ALL THE DICTIONARIES! STOP LANGUAGE FROM EVOLVING!
Slang and synonyms are different from intentional misspellings.
Erik; if you are supporting this legal change in language, you realize this will cause harm to real WOMEN legally right? This is literally opening the door to remove WOMEN’S rights.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
We are not Scots. We are Americans, ANY spelling bee should reflect that, but, of course, if it is feministic? How about boys/men in girl’s/women’s sports, where are the “feminists” in that? What a bunch of hoohah!
Looks like a prime candidate for a cut in funding.
The typical knee jerk response to this “gender identity” madness is: “its not causing any harm..” But they/them don’t realize that forcing a legal change in the definition of a word will remove wymen’s rites in the court room.
I look forward to the day when they/them face their own reality that will come back to haunt them.
Sadly, it will also ruin real women’s rights.
