could you use it in a sentence?

aptyalism. aptyalism. can you give me the definition?
absence of or deficiency in secretion of saliva. aptyalism.
can you give me the language of origin?
is there an alternate pronunciation?
aptyalism.
A-P-T-Y-A-L-I-S-M. aptyalism.

yessss! (this is the patented spelling bee "yesss," used by school children everywhere)

that's right, randy's been out gigging tonight and i've been watching the scripps national spelling bee on abc, live. it's actually more gripping than you would think. and these kids are amazing. it reminded me of how much i love the movie "spellbound." worth picking up if you've never seen it.

the contorted faces, writing the word out on your hand, asking as many questions as you can to stall, it's priceless.
