The Wikipedia

[JenniferL]

So last night, I was doing background reading on the Tudor family for my sixth grade social studies class. We're studying the Renaissance right now and they have papers due on Monday. I came across this really badly written article on Charles V & I, the Holy Roman Emperor. It mentioned his daughter in-law "Marry Tutor" and had all sorts of mispellings and grammar errors. A few minutes after I saw it, my student who is writing a report on Charles emailed me a copy of the article to see if he could use it. I told him yes, and jokingly responded that he should fix the spelling for extra credit.

 

Today, my student is complaining that he was "blocked" from making edits and he doesn't know why. I ask him if he was the one who added all those mispelled words and he says "Yeah."

 

Freak. I TOLD him spelling counts on the internet.
