I've been too busy to blog for ages (too much work!) but had to 'share' this: It's that time of year again (marking hell: 2004, 2005), now 2006 but rather than moan about how much I have to do (I do!) I was momentarily amused by some indecipherable hand writing in my Databases and the Web exam ... what the student wrote is "this stage is about the layingaut the links" and what amused me was that he was probably thinking "laying out" but wrote using joined-up letters "layingaut" which is probably exactly as he'd pronounce it! OK, I am sad...
(Reminds me of my dad's favourite anecdote from years of A-level marking: One paper a couple of years ago had the same squiggle at the end of many lines. After pondering what the student was trying to say he realised that at the end of every sentence rather than finishing with a full-stop/period character the student wrote innit! I kid you not...)
