Typos

I only noticed in the exam today that in the text I had given to students to comment on, "an already" had come out as "anal ready". Fortunately neither the students nor the exam committee picked up on this!

This follows on from a quiz in which I used an example sentence about Buffy, Kendra and Faith - except that I had written "Fatih". Since this is a common Turkish name (it means "conqueror"), my students were most amused by the idea of "Fatih the vampire slayer."

One of my students, who is about to go to America to do her teaching practice, has the surname Semen. I still can't think of a way to break this to her.

maybe we should introduce them...Mrs. Semen Bangar has a certain ring to it.
