From the AP:
AMARILLO, Texas – Caitlin Campbell couldn’t spell collyrium but someone
couldn’t spell her last name. A billboard went up in this Panhandle
city to honor Caitlin’s eighth-place finish in the national spelling
bee. It reads: "Congratulations! Caitlin Cambell for making Amarillo
proud."
Lamar Outdoor Advertising, which donated the space, said it plans to replace the downtown sign with the correct spelling.
Caitlin, 14, made it to the ninth round of the first prime-time
network broadcast of the Scripps National Spelling Bee earlier this
month in Washington. She left the competition when she misspelled the
word collyrium, a term for eye lotion. Link
