In honor of the National Spelling Bee, which starts Wednesday, Google decided to see what words people in each of the 50 states struggle to spell. Whatever word filled that blank most often in each state became denoted as that state’s “most misspelled word.”We've made a few corrections to the legend. [Trump targets ‘negative press covfefe’ in garbled midnight tweet]People in Wisconsin, for example, most frequently searched for how to spell Wisconsin. The longest word Americans didn’t know how to spell, searched for by both West Virginia and Connecticut users, was also an invented one: “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” the word that one magic nanny named Mary Poppins sang about. (In related news, “nanny” was Mississippians’ “most misspelled word.”)The shortest word searched for, meanwhile, was “gray” by users in Georgia.
