Nick learned to spell floccinaucinihilipilification - which is a humorous word made by stringing together a bunch of Latin words that mean "nothing," or "at a small price" - the word means "the action or habit of estimating as worthless." All the GT kids try to outdo each other at being little geniuses, you see, and being able to spell "antidisestablishmentarianism" isn't impressive enough. But I just asked him how to spell it and he got it wrong. I think it's easier when you know and understand the root words.
