Feldenkrais Gesellschaft, party of one?

LIFE LESSON #3,006: If you want your son to grow up with the ability to handle himself with his fists, you could name him "Sue". By the same token, if you want your son to grow up with the ability to spell like a boss, make sure his name contains an assortment of random consonants and vowels as if they were blind drawn Scrabble tiles... like last year's Scripps National Spelling Bee Co-champions, Nihar Saireddy Janga and Jairam Jagadeesh Hathwar.

To gain the title, Nihar spelled "gesellschaft," a type of social relationship, and Jairam aced "feldenkrais," a method of education.

Full Disclosure, I didn't read past that first paragraph on that linked story. Frankly, it had me at "gesellschaft" and "feldenkrais."  I wish I had a nickel for every time I misspelled one of those two words.  In fact, I now plan to have my name legally changed to Feldenkrais Gesellschaft.

So, congratulations Nihar and Jairam. Just thank your stars you didn't draw the word "Kabaragoya".
