Don't Trust the Spell Checker


My seventh graders are completing their major project of the year: a three page research paper. Over the last two days I've been proofreading their rough drafts. This is my favorite blooper of all:

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be arbitrated by a detonating atomic bomb?"

As if arbitration wasn't painful enough. :)
