Apparently, a-p-p-a-r-e-n-t-l-y, many politicians p-o-l-i-t-i-c-i-a-n-s believe b-e-l-i-e-v-e they are humorous h-u-m-o-r-o-u-s, particularly p-a-r-t-i-c-u-l-a-r-l-y when they persistently p-e-r-s-i-s-t-e-n-t-l-y interrupt i-n-t-e-r-r-u-p-t each other. Unfortunately u-n-f-o-r-t-u-n-a-t-e-l-y, the comments are often embarrassing e-m-b-a-r-r-a-s-s-i-n-g, bizarre b-i-z-a-r-r-e or weird w-e-i-r-d. and they had should remember r-e-m-e-m-b-e-r to occasionally o-c-c-a-s-i-o-n-a-l-l-y bite their t-h-e-i-r tongues t-o-n-g-u-e-s.

These sentences contain 15 of the commonly misspelt words, according to the Oxford English Corpus. I challenge all students in years 3 to 8 in schools in Curtin C-u-r-t-i-n to test their own spelling skills in the inaugural PM's Spelling Bee s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g b-e-e, which is open for entries now. Let's get a champion and outshine our neighbours in Fremantle, F-r-e-m-a-n-t-l-e and Stirling S-t-i-r-l-i-n-g. Just visit kidsnews.com.au.
