Something came up at work and I'm curious as to what other people's experiences are, particularly those of the younger generation. One of my collegues children aparently got an A-grade on an english paper, despite it being littered with spelling mistakes, the justification "the exercise was on grammar".
I remember even as far back as primary school, having weekly spelling tests, and always in my assignments having misspelt words being flagged up and highlighted. I'm no English guru, but I think I've got a reasonable good grasp of spelling and pronuciation.
So, what are your experiences?
