Can You Use The Word "Victory" in a Sentence?

Evan O'Dorney of Danville, California beat out 286 contestants to win this year's National Spelling Bee by correctly spelling the word "serrefine", which means small forceps. For his trouble, he (or his parents) get $35,000 cash, a $5,000 scholarship, a $2,500 savings bond, and all the reference books he can handle.

A couple of things:

• Evan is home-schooled, but would be considered an eighth-grader if he attended a public or private school. Don't you think kids like that are sitting ducks for the parents' political and religious leanings instead of being exposed to the world?
• The event was televised by ABC and ESPN, with the championship round presented in prime time. The kids showed a lot of poise for the judges and the TV viewers, but aren't they a little young to be put in that kind of pressure cooker?
• Should Evan be a guest on either Jay Leno's or David Letterman's shows, he'll probably be asked this question: How do you spell the name of California's governor? It is S-C-H-W-A-R-Z-E-N-A-G-G-E-R.
