This group never spelled it again, and if they did it now it would be most shocking indeed. Four years later, another group of people spelled the exact same word in pretty much the same way as the first group, and to this day they spell this word, usually about once a week during the fall, and spelling this 4-letter word is not shocking to them at all.
