The thing I hate about the Bee is when a perfectly cromulent word is not accepted.

They use some slang, but not other slang — "gimme" and "phat" are accepted words, but "yeet" is not.

I still shake my fist at myoma not being in whatever mysterious dictionary they use.

There are a lot of medical terms they don't accept. It's really annoying.

I've had to learn not to treat Spelling Bee, Connections, etc. as a daily IQ test/proof that I'm not yet senile because that way madness lies.
