Stephen said...: I ever tell you about the student of mine who made the worst possible typo in an essay?

The sentence, I hope, was supposed to be "Miss Julie is the daughter of an upper-class count." But it wasn't, quite.; April 17, 2008 at 2:31 AM

I think I told you about the essay I was grading when I was a teaching assistant. The student gave an excellent theatre review (one which he couldn't have possibly copied, given the nature of the assignment) but he consistently misspelled the word "whorehouse" as "horhouse." I looked at the name of the student and cut him a break as it was 10-1 just by the name alone that English wasn't his first language. He still got an "A." :-D; April 17, 2008 at 6:44 PM
Stephen said...: If you read Strindberg, you'll see that the statement is indeed accurate. I circled it in red ink and put exclamation marks in the margin. And I had to stop grading and phone people.; April 18, 2008 at 12:02 AM
