Tales of a Spelling Perfectionist

Yes, it is true.

I, the spelling fanatic, misspelled a word today. Adrenaline: A-D-R-E-N-A-L-I-N-E.

It was a Cranium question. My team was required to spell the word "adrenaline" backward, with each person saying a letter until we reached the end (or, rather, the beginning). We were doing SO well, until we got to the "d". My letter. I said "a" then quickly switched to "d" but not before everyone "oohed" and dismissed it as an unpardonable mistake.

Grrrr.
