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.

institutions offer that. No, they do not. So, going after people's spelling & even grammar is ridiculous since there are so many reasons why these things may be happening that have to do w/ US K-12 systems, various disabilities, as well as assuming our students learn English 1st.

My mum was always so anxious writing letters to school saying we’d been ill, etc, as she was ashamed of her spelling, she did not speak English until she was seven. When you go after spelling it silences people, often people already marginalised.
