I get the need to blow off steam when grading a stack of essays. But, can we not make fun of students’ spelling errors and other infelicities in their writing? This is especially frustrating when students may have heard a word but not really seen it spelled.

@RickGodden is right. But let's go over this in more detail. 1. as someone who technically has English as a 2nd-language, though I can easily correct both grammar and spelling mistakes in students prose, I have difficulty seeing it in my own work even when I have revised. -
There is research that discusses why this happens because of bilingualism, multilingualism, and various kinds of language acquisition issues. 2. several kinds of neurodiversity not to mention learning disabilities means that students cannot actually see these spelling errors.
