Lucky you.  I still remember bitterly contesting the loss of a 4th grade 
spelling bee because I spelled it "honour" instead of "honor."  I insisted 
that both spellings were correct, but I lost the argument.  Obviously, I was 
bitter about it since I can still remember it to this day.  <g>  I guess 
it's because I wasn't outwardly Hermione enough.
