This is the time of year when my teacher friends and colleagues send me all sorts of inadvertent funnies that show up in assignments and exams. Here are a few choice ones from recent reports:
" when I heard we had to do a placement in this course, I was a little spectacle..."
" Aristotle was an ancient Geek whose theories still influence us today..."
" so many decisions about sport in the late 19th century depended on the impotence of public men..."
" Orwell wrote 1984 to warn us about the dangers of computer surveillance and its threatening presence, like a giant octopus spreading its testicles all over the world.."
and, my personal favourite.....
" Queen Mary died after a long and bloody period."
There's hundreds more, but I thought you might enjoy these appetizers.
Learning is fun; teaching is an adventure!

These are great. I especially liked the one about impotent men...one letter makes all the difference ;)
ReplyDeleteDerli-- yes indeed; that one little letter. I was thinking that other letters might be funny in that one, too, like pubic men .... anyway, you get the drift.
ReplyDeletehope all is well with you
