You know, like, it's already confusing enough for kids to keep track of all these words. How to spell them, what they mean, remembering the difference between a homophone and a homonym, etc. So to throw this word into the mix when kids are already struggling to keep track of it all is some kind of sadistic joke. She WANTS to break the minds students across the country.
Reminds me of that one Brian Regan joke about the spelling bee.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite SMBC comics in a while. I especially love the genie's face in the third panel.
