Mt. Lebanon seventh-grader Jeremy Pople was eliminated this afternoon in the preliminary rounds of the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. He correctly spelled "kaiserdom" this morning in the first oral round of the bee, but his score on the written test was not high enough for him to advance to the quarterfinals.
Words on the written exam included miscible, intermittence, eidetic, pinyin, nonpareil and tremolo. Ninety of the 288 spellers moved on to the quarterfinals, which are now under way. Jeremy, 12, attends Mellon Middle School and was competing at the national level for the first time.

Seriously? "Miscible"! I have no idea what that means, well, I googled it so I actually do now.
