Hey Connecticut, There's No Shame In Not Knowing How To Spell This Word

Connecticut residents, when you pick a word to ask about how to spell, you certainly pick a doozy (yeah, I had to look up that one).

According to Google Trends, Connecticut spellers are most stumped by the word popularized by the musical "Mary Poppins," Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

To come up with that, Google crunched data from "how to spell" searches in the United States from January 1 through April 30 of this year, and then broke it down by state. Google posted the map of spelling searches just in time for the annual Scripts National Spelling Bee last week, reports The New York Times.

Nationally, the word that popped up in the most how-to-spell searches was "beautiful," followed by "pneumonia."

In next door Rhode Island, the word "liar" was the top choice, while in Massachusetts, the honor fell to "license." New York has trouble spelling "beautiful," and New Jersey struggles with "twelve," according to Google Trends.
