Not to sound too harsh or anything, but in an age of electronic spell-checkers and internet dictionaries, isn’t the ability to spell strange and obscure words a rather worthless skill?

I think the general rule on JH achievements is that they’re not worth mentioning, with few exceptions. I think if I was MATHCOUNTS national champion or something it might be worth putting down (those kids are freaking amazing… they answer before I’ve read the question sometimes), but that’s a lot different than a state-level spelling bee.
