Before moving from California to Alpharetta, Georgia, in 1991, my 10-year-old son had won several local Spelling Bees. But in Georgia, he suddenly was failing in spelling.

I arranged a parent-teacher conference with his teacher to review my son's spelling tests:

I: Ms. Jenkins, can we please look over my son's recent spelling tests?

Ms. Jenkins (who speaks with a VERY Southern accent): Certainly.

I: This first error looks fine to me, "bale".

Ms. Jenkins: It's supposed to be "bell".

I: Then there's this one that's marked wrong, "sail".

Ms. Jenkins: It's supposed to be "sell".

I: Do you use the spelling words in a sentence when you test the students?

Ms. Jenkins: I certainly do.

I: What was the sentence for "sell"?

Ms. Jenkins: 'The man wanted to sell his boat.'

I: Hmmmm.

(The next word, "meeyun", I knew was wrong...)

I: Ms. Jenkins, what's "meeyun"?

Ms. Jenkins: It's a thousand thousand, of course.

My son and I solved the problem by my conducting a training session with him on how to Hear in "Southern".
