I corrected a typo on a whiteboard at school today - WIBU?

[clary]

We were looking round the fancy new school buildings at my kids' school tonight and there was some teacher writing on a board which included the word "barbeque" [sic]

I was able dextrously to doctor the q to make it a c. I hope this was in order. I also hope the teacher notices

This thread is like a giant communal wankoff for pedants.

At the entrance to my children's outstanding school is a sign giving the "School Principle"'s name. I practically burst into flames of impotent rage every morning as I pass it. I don't dare say anything. But it may kill me.

wankoff should be hyphenated surely?

I can't find it in the dictionary either way. :)

Splitting infinitives is fine. 'Tho' instead of 'though' is not.

Sorry, but you have to do something about this. Maybe an anonymous note? A little helpful hint on how to know the difference? In the US, children are taught "the principal is your pal.

I prefer this Barhbehquooo spelling myself

In a school today I saw an actual teacher write "lead" when they meant "led" and another show a powerpoint with "it's" meaning "of it". (would that count as a typo btw??)

I said nothing tho

No. It's a grammatical error.
