Assignation or assignment
| Grammarist
An assignment is a task given to a specific person or group to complete. It can also mean the act of assigning . In some legal fields it can refer to the transferring of ownership of property.
An assignation is the act of assigning or the actual assignment. But it also means a secret rendezvous for lovers, most especially for affairs or illicit relationships. Sometimes this is used to mean a secret meeting or a regularly set meeting, but it would be confusing in this sense to those who are familiar with the standard meaning (see the example below). As a mass noun it can refer to something as being owned or belonging to something else.
Examples The choice has not been made, but it appears the team is more likely to option Orlando to Omaha, rather than designate Dyson for assignment. [ The Kansas City Star ] According to a criminal complaint, Ms Dale, 21, told a detective that Ethan refused to complete the assignment for the first time on 24 February. [ International Business Times ] I vaguely remember seeing images of Delhiites being water-hosed by police while rioting for “Nirbhaya,” an assignation that means “Fearless One,” given to Pandey by the media as authorities would not release her name. [ Huffington Post ] The rare exceptions include a scene in which Shulem follows his wife to an assignation with Félix, slapping his romantic rival to the sidewalk like a petulant schoolboy. [ The Washington Post ] Over the past few months, RPG Enterprises chairman Harsh Goenka, has been having an assignation every other Friday for a few hours. [ India Times ]

America's funniest Spelling Bee fails, from 'beautiful' to 'surprise'
It's the end of May and with it comes the time for spelling bee competitions . And, of course, it's also the time to roast other states for the words that they can't spell.
But can New Jerseyans afford to roast others?
Google Trends released the most googled words to spell by state over the past year. In New Jersey, it seems that many people didn't know how to spell "experience." But that's OK because people in Nevada were googling how to spell "internet." In New Mexico, they were searching how to spell "quiet."
New Jersey has some merit in that at least its most googled spelling was for a word with 10 letters.
Our neighbors in New York and Pennsylvania were more interested in knowing how to spell "aesthetic" and "mountain," respectively.
Arizonans and North Carolinians were both googling how to spell "colonel." They must be interested in warfare.
Here's a sample of what other states didn't know how to spell:
- California: Pretty
- Oregon: Opinion
- Idaho: Strawberries
- Wyoming: Corduroy
- South Dakota: Beautiful
- Texas: Physique
- Florida: Language
- Oklahoma: Animal
- Georgia: Surprise
- West Virginia: Because
- Massachusetts: Elephant
- Michigan: Cousin
- Delaware: Business

12-year-old Bruhat Soma wins 96th Scripps National Spelling Bee in spell-off
OXON HILL, Md. – All Bruhat Soma does is win.
Soma entered the 96th Scripps National Spelling Bee with three smaller spelling bee victories already under his belt in 2024, and the 12-year-old from St. Petersburg, Florida, won the big prize Thursday by defeating fellow 12-year-old Faizan Zaki in a spell-off.
"My heart was pumping so fast when I realized I won," Soma said. "I had a good feeling I would win because I did pretty good, but yeah, you never know. I still couldn’t absorb the moment yet."
From NFL plays to college sports scores, all the top sports news you need to know every day.
With organizers calling for a spell-off to determine a winner following 14 rounds over three days at the national championships, Soma spelled 29 words correctly in a 90-second span to best Zaki, who recorded 20 correct words.
For every one-hour practice session, Soma's spelling coach Sam Evans said, they would do three spell-offs.
"He’s certainly very, very good at them," Evans told USA TODAY. "I’m not surprised to see how well he did tonight."
Soma was ready for a spell-off. He was calm onstage. Every day, Soma said, his father used a program to pronounce words in 90-second sprints to emulate the spell-off.
“I really wanted all of this,” Soma said, “but you could never expect it.”
The spell-off was introduced in 2021 and was used for the first time – and before Thursday, the only time – at the 2022 competition. Harini Logan correctly spelled 22 words to take home the title that year.
The 2024 national finals began with 245 spellers from all 50 states and across the globe. Ninety-seven individuals bowed out during Tuesday’s preliminaries and 45 moved from the quarterfinals to semifinals Wednesday. Only eight – a smaller group than normal – advanced to the finals.
Soma will receive more than $50,000 cash in addition to other prizes for his victory.
Two finalists bowed out in the first round of spelling Thursday. The remaining six cruised through the subsequent vocabulary round; the Bee started having competitors choose the correct definition onstage in 2019, which typically has proved more challenging for the finalists and resulted in more eliminations.
Kirsten Santos, who finished fifth in 2022, took sixth this time around and was one letter off on “apophasis.” The top five moved into the fourth round of spelling, when Aditi Muthukumar could not nail “lillooet.”
Shrey Parikh and Ananya Prassanna then bowed out as time was expiring on the Bee’s broadcast window, prompting the start of the spell-off.
Who is Bruhat Soma? 2024 National Spelling Bee winner 'knew all of my words'
For Soma, winning the Bee has been a goal of his since third grade. He bowed out in the quarterfinals last year and decided to “go hard” in the run-up to the 2024 Bee to make up for that performance.
“I feel ecstatic,” he said onstage with confetti surrounding his feet and the Scripps Cup beside him.
Asked what the hardest word of the week he received was, he said: “I mean, to be fair, I knew all of my words. So I don’t really know.”
To help him spell out loud, Soma employs the strategy of "typing" with his left hand on an imaginary keyboard. He said he was strategic in choosing which sections to memorize – the ones he was most likely to hear at the Bee.
"His memory’s just so good and that certainly helps him with spelling," Evans said.
"I don’t know the entire dictionary," Soma said, "and I’m not even close to that."
Nonetheless, anybody can devote a few days or weeks to practicing spelling, Evans said. Soma's dedication was different.
“To be consistent throughout the whole year and to work towards a goal like he has, it’s something that makes him really special,” said Evans, a 16-year-old from Jacksonville, Florida, who will be a junior in high school in the fall. “His work ethic is really the reason why he’s standing up there holding the trophy.”
Soma also loves basketball and will undoubtedly have more time now to watch and play it.
“This year, I haven’t really been keeping up with basketball because of spelling,” he said. “Basketball is like my side passion.”
What was 2024 Spelling Bee winning word?
With the spell-off, there is no official winning word. Zaki spelled “nicuri” to force the spell-off after Soma correctly spelled “daena.”
Zaki asked for some time to take deep breaths before beginning his 90-second run.
Zaki is one of Soma's closest friends on the spelling circuit. The two shared a hug before head pronouncer Dr. Jacques Bailly read the results of the spell-off.
“I would say congrats to him. He did amazing,” Soma said.
