Wow. Are you sure the kid didn't write this?!

I'm hoping it was written by the 7th grader.

I could see once....but really

[otowngirl]

Come to think of it, I could use a Tudor myself.

Well, if it were me, and I pay DD's tutor $70 an hour, I would hope that she would be compassionate enough to overlook the spelling error and smart enough to see that there is an underlying cause.

I love the people who get all up in arms about people making comments about obvious disabilities, then make fun of people who have dyslexia, Visual processing, or other disorders that make the English language hard for them to figure out.

Chances are good that the parent who wrote that and has a child who needs a tutor also has underlying difficulty or English as a second language. Good for you for making fun of them. I especially like the person who called them idiots, even a computer can spell, but it takes a real person to belittle people for it.

Twice. Once at the original post, once at that outrageous overreaction.

Spell check is a heartless bitch.

I have an online forum friend who is a college administrator. She is currently ABD on her PhD- so very bright lady. She routinely vents about her son's guidance councilor. 

But my favorite comes from one of my Eagle Scout candidates who build a garden shed for his church's garden committee. He wrote the following in his Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook as a description of the process:

"I measured the broads before I nailed them."

DS is dyslexic and offers up the occasional gem. This from a paper of how social media could be used as a platform for a kind of online university:

"In developing countries in Africa, professors are able to offer lectures via facebook and even access students, albeit in an informal manor." 

I sorted my Diet Coke on that one and so did he once he re-read it because we were both picturing Karen Blixen's place.

I laugh because it's the kind of mistake I would make which is probably where it came from.
