When I was 12 I would have kept quiet too. Not now. I would have said “No, you’re wrong. The correct spelling is what I said. Go back and get the correct information.”

I'm assuming that there were multiple judges in attendance, and none of them said a word. 

She spelled it correctly, but on the judges and word master spelling sheet it was spelled with one less "L."

 

So, not only does nobody proofread the master spelling list, nobody took 1/2 second out of their busy day to push the "spellcheck" button.  A common word like Braille would have popped up in even the most antiquated word processor's spellcheck program.

This sounds like precisely the sort of work-process that I would expect from the most thuggish "it's not my job" labor union hacks; and these Mensa Champions are not only teaching our children, they're making them fail what is to the child an extremely important event when they could have been gracious and corrected themselves at the time....if there had been an ounce of humility or professionalism on their parts.

"sigh"
