the number of written tests i've graded today with really poor spelling frightens me.
and makes me wonder how they graduated from high school.
...and how they got into college.
autocorrect and spellcheck aren't going to save you, you morons.
"suizide" (i hate you.)
"scull" (more than one student spells it this way)
"testimnt"
"Bysatene" (instead of Byzantine)
"Bysanteen"
"ivery"
"juxtupostition"
"corination"
"Carolynin" (instead of Carolingian)
"idol" instead of "idle"
"atention"
"verticaly"
"galery"
"leters"
"ribon"
"figuars" (x2)
"aparent"
"beirds" (WTF beards??!?!?!?!?!?!?!? beirds is not easier than beards)
"bounsing"
"reprisenting"
"bowel" (instead of bowl!)
"comiting"
"crusifiction"
"moseich"
"serface"
"chiping"
"techneque"
"wich"
"wiggal"
"agains" (meant against)

hahaha WOW. that's all I can say about this.
hahahah i leufe thus.
wow is right! i mean, i know some people struggle with spelling, but this is ridiculous! (and i hate when people spell that "rediculous" or some other form) but perhaps you have a lot of british students (the ones that replace the 'c' with an 's') it's a thought... perhaps a lesson in spelling/grammar might jog their memories?
yikes. however, perhaps comiting is when you vomit a comet?
the lack of "y"'s and silent "e"'s definitely negates the excuse that they write in Olde English.
maybe I am dyslexic and maybe I can't spell at all. Maybe I thought that 8% of those words were spelled correctly. Maybe the other 92% blew my mind. Beirds?!?! really?!?!
