Did you discover the mistake before you submitted the report. I was terribly relieved to find my "pubic awareness" mistake in the final proof-reading before putting the thing in the envelope.<br /><br />Tracy thanks for liking our space. Such organisation is borne of horrible disorganisation - now we've got a place for all our pens and papers and stationery-type things, the house is tidier (and we're a bit better at completing homework) but it wasn't always like that. I bought a few old desks from school and put some little shelves in a corner and now we've got a (usually very untidy) spot for everything to go.Givinya De Elbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746896375826415145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-48453657245427749752012-08-31T12:23:46.289+10:002012-08-31T12:23:46.289+10:00OH YEAH!

HOpe the teacher got a laugh at the error.<br /><br />I once wrote in a report "...the proposed farm-stay cabin is located so as to be buggered from the rural activities next door..." buffered. Buffered. BUFFERED!!! If I'd meant what I wrote I would have used "by" rather than "from", of course.Hippomanic Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285378246081322317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-79384978083496189672012-08-30T22:41:52.887+10:002012-08-30T22:41:52.887+10:00Ah, spelling, schmelling.

Bethany has been asking for a desk in her room, but she needs to work in a place where help is available. Now you've got me thinking!Tracy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750283241399825265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-20109091565683824782012-08-30T21:37:36.049+10:002012-08-30T21:37:36.049+10:00And then there's the one about signing an emai...And then there's the one about signing an email 'regards' and discovering (too late) that the 'g' and 't' keys are awfully close together...<br /><br />I love the desk setup!
