    The little girl who misspelled sphere was robbed! The judges should have disqualified that man for mispronouncing it and should have given the child a new word! It is unfortunate she didn’t know from the definition that he was saying it wrong, but each speller deserves a clear, correct and unambiguous pronunciation. That child should get to come back next year and compete without having to win at lower levels to earn her spot. The judges and the adult who pronounced the word failed her, and she is owed another shot!

    The context clue (definition/sentence) made it clear. She misunderstood, but it's a shame for her as she can probably spell well.

    I think they (the people in charge) need to be clear about pronunciation of the words before the contest starts. If a word is pronounced incorrectly the word may be spelled incorrectly. The definition only helps if the child understands the definition.
