Typo Fun

A student e-mailed me yesterday to say " I resent my letter of recommendation today." While he may in fact resent having to send me a letter of recommendation, what I think he meant to say was that he re-sent me his letter of recommendation. Mostly I thought it was cute.

It is not, however, cute when employed high school counselors describe their students as having great "composer and grace" unless they are in fact referring to the musical talent of their student and not, as was this case, to their maturity.
