对于阿拉巴马、伊利诺伊、缅因、密歇根和华盛顿州的人们来说，pneumonia似乎是最难拼写的单词。

"Beautiful" is the hardest word in California, Kentucky, Minnesota, New York and Ohio while in Arizona, Colorado and Wisconsin, people have trouble with "tomorrow".

而在加利福尼亚、肯塔基、明尼苏达、纽约和俄亥俄州，beautiful是最难的单词，亚利桑那、科罗拉多和威斯康辛州的人们则在tomorrow的拼写上存在问题。

Unsurprisingly, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, a word Popularized by the 1964 film "Mary Poppins," also appears on the list.

不出意料的是，supercalifragilisticexpialidocious（难以置信的）这个由1964年的电影《欢乐满人间》推广的单词，也出现在了该列表当中。

However, one may have difficulty in explaining why people in Hawaii struggle with "people" and South Dakota can't spell "college" correctly.

不过，至于为什么夏威夷人民不太会拼people、南达科他州人民拼不对college，可能就很难解释了。
