Pittsburgh Schools and Football-related Spelling
MAYBE THEY’LL TAKE A HOLIDAY!
From Pittsburgh School District Leads Nation In Ability To Spell ‘Roethlisberger’:
PITTSBURGH—Just four years ago, then-eighth-grader Heather Lawler had no idea how to spell Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s last name. She would often eliminate the “e” after the “o,” or place an extra vowel before the “l.”
Sometimes, she even wrote out the last six letters as “burger.”
Now a high school senior, Lawler is just one of thousands of Pittsburgh students who will graduate with the ability to spell Roethlisberger in the 97th percentile, a statistic that puts her head and shoulders above millions of students across the United States.

It is time for the team to show what they are really made of. give the rock to Mendenhall and let him hammer it. The division race is not over yet. Everything should work out great if they just play steeler football.
