Tell me what you really think.
tell me it ain't so.
Teaching seventh graders, many of whom do not have much command of spelling, I annually get "dessert" for 'desert', "hores" instead of 'horses', "weet" instead of 'wheat' and a variety of other odd words.....
Of course, Mamacita, your students are a bit older.....
That reminds me of American Idol tonight, where a contestant said she had a "confidential" feeling about her performance. She then mentioned that her confidence level was high (in so many words) - otherwise I would not have known what she meant.
What age are your students again? Yikes!
Spell check should come with a disclaimer never to trust it implicitly. Dang, did I spell that right? Let me run spell check really quick...
But seriously? How did she not catch that?
I knew it was bad, but I didn't know it was that bad. Maybe I mean I knew it was sad, but I didn't know it was that sad.
Spell checks don't catch the wrong words spelled rightly. -cp
ha! that is very funny. not unlike my sixth graders who occasionally, when writing about people who rap, don't know to double their consonants and end up writing about "the best raper." yikes! 
Ewwww, Sounds like my entire day.
