Hey, the mispelling errors could have been far worse.
I got sent to the Headmasters Office in my private school in 8th grade when I had a series of unfortunate spelling mistakes on my geology test including stating that an explosion of magma through a weak spot in the Earth's crust was a "volcanic erection."  I have no idea of what I was thinking that day, but considering my age it couldn't have been anything good.

Considering I've had about five hours of sleep in the past three days I feel lucky I can still type and speak somewhat proper English....
