Speaking of grammar...
DH has a student who spelled his own name wrong on his final.
I think the Alot may be crying right now at being usurped for goofiest mistake.

And this is why you need to be here everyday.
Children-schmildren, this is where your priorities should be.
I have a confession, Krista.
I often wonder how much you're rolling your eyes or even raging at my posts when they contain poor sentence structure or bad punctuation practices.
I just know you're a good writer and I get illogically self-conscious if you'll be reading the post.
Insecure, much?
PS. I waaayyyy over-use parentheses. It's something I'm working on.
Also, along the lines of your OP, we recently got an admissions application where the student - who was from Indiana, and I won't say which school - got a 200 on the critical reading section of the SAT.
If I'm not mistaken, the lowest score you CAN get is a 200. The joke is that you'll get 200 points just for putting your name on the test.
Lauren, I notice when things are atrocious, but it bugs me way less on a message board than in an email or on paper. And I only get judgy if it's really bad. Or the content is stupid. Or I already don't like you.
So, what I'm hearing you say is that Michael's student would have swung a zero on this,

That is pretty bad. I wonder if it is possible that it showed up as a misspelled word and he just corrected it without paying attention.
Lauren- We all have those issues. One of my many bad habits is that I often don't proofread before clicking the post button and then I notice all the errors and typos. I often feel a little embarrassed by it, among other things.
