You wanna test the National Spelling Bee Twitter account? Prepare to meet oblivion. O-B-L-I-V-I-O-N.

Much like its tiny contestants, @ScrippsBee plays to win. You could be a troll or an ally — it doesn't matter. Make a spelling error, and @ScrippsBee will come for you.

It will come for us all.

@ScrippsBee has no patience for intolerant critics.

@ScrippsBee will not hesitate to eviscerate even its staunchest fans.

@ScrippsBee, a Twitter account designed to live recap a children's spelling competition, has suddenly become the most feared entity in all of Twitter. 

Tremble at its power, lest ye get trolled so hard you forget your language of origin.

But please don't send mean tweets. The account is run by former bee champs, which means it's mostly run by kids. So be nice. They're just kids.
