Slipping up

Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML

Same thing different taste

Underfunded and underappreciated

Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML

This doesn't belong on FML, it's more like an "Oh, let me fix that."

Meh I've screwed it up while typing in a hurry also, even though I completely understand the difference between your/you're. what always screws me up is it's and its. every time :) I can never remember the proper "its" to use.

my sister has a lot of professors that make such mistakes, even repeatedly, the students don't really mind it so much. they do know the professor knows his stuff.
