So we'd sit with these girls during school hours, and we told them, if they'd slip off, that we'd get away, and we'd go to to a spelling.
Because Elizabethan spelling was fluid, editors feel free to ‘modernize’ (correct) the spelling in the quartos and the Folio. But how is one to spell Rosencratz or Guildenstern, where the spelling varies, not only from text to text, but even within texts?.
Guildensterne and Rosincrance are F’s consistent spellings.
Spelling bees are stupid.
- Heceleme yarışması aptalcadır.
The neighbors' son won the spelling bee at school.
- Komşunun oğlu okulda heceleme yarışmasını kazandı.
The words were spelled wrong.
- Kelimeler yanlış hecelendi.
I wish they had spelled my name correctly.
- Keşke adımı doğru heceleselerdi.
Tom can spell better than Mary.
- Tom Mary'den daha iyi heceleyebilir.
Tom can never remember how to spell my name.
- Tom, ismimi nasıl heceleyeceğini asla hatırlayamaz.
