Ba"D"minton not ba"T"minton!!!

 Sometimes my friends get mixed up in one game, but with two names (not really). The first name is "Badminton" and the second one is "Batminton". Which name is the real one? Some people think you spell it "Batminton" because you use something like a bat (which is called a racket) that's why they think it is "Batminton". We spell it "Badminton", I don't know why. Here are the instructions how to play badminton. You have a racket and a shuttlecock. You play in a court with a net in the middle of the whole court. You serve the shuttlecock to the other side of the net to your opponent(s). If the shuttlecock fell dow on your side, the other team will get one point. If the shuttlecock falls down on your opponent's side, you will get one point. Here is a picture of what the shuttlecock and the badminton together looks like.
The shuttlecock is the one with the white feathers on the top. The racket is the one with a net and a handle to hold it to use it for hitting the shuttlecock to your opponent(s) side. Here is a video clip below the shuttlecock and the badminton racket picture. It is about two women. One from Singapore and one from Indonesia.
