Evan O'Dorney can and he won the 2007 Scripps National Spelling Bee by spelling that word. Incidentally, and I say this with satisfaction, I actually could spell that word because of a lengthy stint as a sterile processing technician while I was in college. A serrefine is a small vessel clamp used in heart surgery.
Oh and by the way, Evan is a homeschool kid!

Are you suggesting some kind of conspiracy? ESPN radio was talking about it this morning and mentioned several times that he was homeschooled.
Forgive me, Streak. I don't listen to ESPN. I updated the post.
Yeah, no worries. I was just wondering if you were asserting some anti-homeschool bias in the media? Not saying you are wrong, just asking.
No, I don't think there is a bias, but the WaPo is typically very fair, and for them to miss something of that gravity seemed to be more than a causal oversight. They are usually a detail-oriented news outlet.
Sorry, that should be casual, not causal.
