A reminder to check more than spelling and grammar!
I have two groups of students this quarter preparing for their submissions of mid term research papers, and this entertaining story from CNN on West Virginia's National Invitation Tournament recent win serves to remind students to check their papers carefully before submission. What may indeed be correctly spelled does not always confer the intended meaning. Still, these players look happy so one perhaps should'nt complain. It reminds me of my Cardiff days when I wrote a paper on public policy. My professor must have dined out on my inadvertent gaff for weeks given my last name. Always have an independent party read your work first…

Case in point - your wandering apostrophe in ’should’nt’ should be ’shouldn’t’ and you mean gaffe, not gaff…
No one likes a smart arse though…
