The hispanic culture center should be holding english spelling bees to help their members.

Really Spanish spelling is fairly straight forward. Wonder what words stumped ppl.

Is 'immigration' code for 'Hispanic' ? A rather odd category for this to be put in, no?

How the **** do you know their members can't already speak English dipshit?

potatoe is A correct spelling of potato. Alternate and rarely used, but technically not a mis-spelling.

What Dan Quayle said that was wrong was that he told the kid "potato" was NOT a correct spelling, and that he needed to add an e to spell it correctly
