The teacher told her class the word of the day was
"dictate" and asked who could spell it.
George raised his hand and he spelled out, "d-i-k-t-a-t-e."
The teacher said, "sorry that's wrong" Then she asked Johnny .Johnny
slowly spelled out, "d-i-c-k-t-a-t-e."
"Sorry" says the teacher, "that's not right either."
Next, she asked Fiona After a slight pause Fiona began spelling, "d-i-c-t-a-t-e."
"Very good Fiona," applauded the teacher, "that's correct.
Now," the teacher continued, "who can use this word in a
sentence?"
Johnny raised his hand quick as a flash shouting, "I know-I know,"
"OK" replied the teacher, "please use the word Johnny ."
Stephen responded, "How did my dictate last night, Fiona?"
