Some quotes from a recent assignment I marked for a grade 12 history class ... The question given to them was whether or not the benefits of technological advancements outweigh the harm. Now, before I publicly mock these students I do need to applaud them for at least writing their own assignments! I caught eight plagiarizers! These are for everyone who thinks spelling and grammar don't matter:
"The other testes included bone, muscle and nerve transplantation..."
"The benefits of these advancements out-way the cost" (you were given the word "outweigh" in the question!!)
This one isn't a spelling issue, but the student obviously gave up on an academic style: "Young girls are looking to the media for role models and all they are finding is celebrities with no meat on their bones to speak of running around half-naked on stage with more makeup than you can find in a drug store painted on their faces." Imagine that rant continuing for several pages.
And my personal favourite: "People ask who killed romance and shivery?"
Priceless
