I just love those articles that turn up every once in a while that make fun of the typos and factual errors students make on their exams and term papers. I know it's cruel but I can't help myself. Best Wank and Gaza: this year's top exam howlers is a pretty good example of the form.
Meanwhile, a biology student spent an entire paper telling Kevin Reiling, from the Faculty of Sciences at Staffordshire University, about the science of gnomes."It took me a while to realise she was referring to genomes," Dr Reiling remarked.
