Funny mistakes in books

[AnOeufUniversallyEggnowledged]

I've just spent ages trying to work out what 'aldernuff' meant in one of my year 10 books. He used it repeatedly in an article about healthy meals...

Old enough?

May Aldernuff is a word for a young Adult

Yep. I think that's what it is. It just made me chuckle that he clearly thinks it's all one word.

My absolute favourite mistake came from the child who said 'Frankenstein didn't think the monster threw properly'

One of Henry VIII's wives was Amber Lynn :-)

Amber Lynn. Chuckle. Brilliant.

I once got asked how to spell 'psychic' while my class were writing detective stories. I thought nothing of it until I read all about Sherlock Holmes, and his psychic, Watson.

One of mine was doing a bar chart to show people's favourite drinks and managed to abbreviate Hot Chocolate to "hot cock." I did take a sneaky picture on my phone.

Ha, love that, Brian!

I enjoyed an illustration of "buboes" (the swellings that come with black death, often under the armpits). Picture was of a stick man with enormous circles under his armpits (picture it), labelled "BUUBS".

An A level geography group doing a role play about a new development, one boy mistakenly took on the role of a naturist instead of a naturalist!

As an RE teacher I usually get at least one pupil a year writing about the erection rather than the resurrection.

Laughing out loud at a lot of these. I did loads of marking over the weekend. Not one funny mistake

My best ever was dogs having rabbis.

I once had a year two boy who wrote in a story "no fuck you said the dog." When I got him to read it back to me to see if he would squirm he read "no fank you said the dog!!! Was about to call his mother in!!

One of my pupils is convinced that cuppertea is all one word - when I explained it was cup of tea she insisted that her nan says 'cuppertea' and it must be one word

I read a piece once based on a book in which the eldest daughter of a family in crisis is force dinto the sex industry to support the family. or, as this pupil wrote, she 'kept their heads above water on her immoral earrings'. THe mind boggles.
I also liked the boy who write about his date with his new 'grill fiend'. Excellent description, as it happens.

A very religious child wrote "We went on a walk and I saw a sin" - meaning sign.

Slightly different sort f mistake, but on a maths test where a child was asked to name the shape the net shown would make (which was a triangular prism) a child wrote "a pencil wrapped in a blanket"

i used to get burned to the steak a lot. bloody tudors

last week a girl stuck an ( unused) ST in someones book as a laugh

also AMblin for ANne Boelyn

A year one boy in my class wrote him name 'Angus' on his work, unfortunately he missed out the 'g'

*his name!

Q. A family went on holiday for two weeks on the 25th of July, what was the date of their return.

A. 39th of July

One of my class wrote today that he was happy that his friend had got an extinction in their piano exam.

I had one child write about the soon army that hit Japan

One child had a mother that fell down and broke her tits.

I am pretty sure she laddered her tights..
