When she mentions “mental filing cabinet†that is straight out of the Francis A Yates book, “The Art of Memoryâ€ÂÂ… wow. This girl is advanced.

w-i-n-n-e-r next word bitch.
Hearts from india.. 1st time I'm happy of the girl who won against our indian girl..
Not gonna lie I was getting tired of seeing all these Indian kids winning.
Ok she study’s 13000 words in 7 hours/420 minutes daily. Not strange at all. That’s just about 31 words every minute or 1 word every two seconds non stop without taking a bathroom break, meal break or not even to have a conversation with the tutor. I guess they teach um to lie from very young. Smh.
So this 14 year old always relates the word MURRYA with the name of a barely remembered 80s comedian – Not strange at all.
She is such a talented young lady!!🎊🎊🥳🎉 Cheers and congratulations for her!ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¾ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¾ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¾ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸÂ¾📣📣😃😄😸ðŸ˜ÂÂ
As an Englishman now an American, the difference in spelling and meaning of words is far deeper and more complex than I ever realised (sorry, realized). It's not only that. There are huge differences between racespeak ageslang, and even localchat. I cannot understand anything black american youngsters say. I think they like it that way, and as a multi linguist , I can learn it if I need to. Problem is when I return to England When I say the point is moot, the meaning is the opposite. Also you Yanks should reconsider uttering "fanny" in public. It refers to Fanny Hill, the London prostitute and the body part that made her rich and famous.
Blk america needs to push this young girl
Amazing !! Congratulations 🎈🎊🎉!
Sheesh and I can’t even spell wensday
Over 1000 books she have already read at 14yrs, what!

Well done girl,your are my Hero.god bless you.stay humble.
Love the victory dance! Love the hair! And she is a beautiful young lady. I don't think we've heard the last of Zaila.
The way the guy pronounced neroli oil was wrong though 😂 I had no clue what he was talking about then when I saw the spelling I was like oh my favourite fragrance.
I really respect her and appreciate that she took the time to look up the history of the spelling bee and took the time to mention a predecessor, even though her African American counterpart got six place. That was wonderfulâ¤ï¸ÂÂ😃
Congratulations Baby Girl
Congratulations well deserved ðŸ‘ÂÂ
