Pubic Shaming

It's that magical time of the year again! No, not the holidays. I mean that it's the end of the semester, when I can collect bloopers from student essays and term papers. Every one of the following sentences was written by one of my (university) students this semester. I have reproduced them verbatim for your reading enjoyment. Which is your favorite?

Also, to demonstrate that students aren't the only ones who make my head hurt, at the end you'll see a garment tag that manages two errors in one short sentence. You'll also see an assignment that I found in one of my classrooms, which shows that some intructors aren't much better than the students.


·         A victim or the people need layers.
·         Toward the end the jury finally find the accused either guilty or not guilty, and than at the end the lawyer sais a smart quote.
·         Every rule broken or every maid up law is there to be able to make the show more intense.
·         They are a tight nit group of members.
·         As of rite now it’s waiting for a new season.
·         They used litigation before carceration to the suspect.
·         For this assignment I chose to go with a classic movie from 1996 called Set it Off.
·         Jerry and the three children stayed at the house meanwhile Patty exploited of anger took her purse and the cars key and left the house.
·         After, he goes to the spot where he hood the diamond and almost faints when he sees the site in now a police station.
·         By analyzing the criminals mind it allows them to enter the criminal mind.
·         The deception of Criminal Justice was accurate in some areas.
·         They came across a job like this but they instead of helping them they told them to get there them self’s.
·         While patrolling the park they noticed a skeptical group of people dealing with drugs.
·         Clyde is suspected suspicious of the death of the two men but no evidence has been further found.
·         A constable was in charge of tides and there were also sheriffs.
·         Children and wife’s were the property of the father.
·         In the 1920,s New York City started mass usage of cars in its city and ford took the title of police cars.
·         Cameras that are presents in stores help deter crime and reduce the level of crime.
·         As previously stated, some of the countries provide a death penalty for Blasphemy while others simply give Blasphemy.
·         It was coined the term “war on drugs” by President Nixon in 1971.
·         Prohibition can be defined as a statue or order that forbids a particular action.
·         In addition to chain gangs having diminutive freedom, the first group went through “harsh disciplines and punishments”.
·         The Supreme Court of the United States took a chance to review the Eigh Amendment in a concordat ion that chain gangs definitely violate the Eigh Amendment.
·         The bad guys run rampid.
·         It was an idea so great that it was shared by many other parts of the world as well, who followed suite.
·         The offender had to wear a barrel that had wholes that were cut in the sides for the hands and head to be in.
·         The purpose of public punishment was to correct their behavior and put them to shame in pubic.
·         People had to walk with a letter such as A for mining adultery.
·         Flogging was very common. It involved the wiping of the people.
·         Burning at the stake was only used for witches and people that didn’t believe in the pope.
·         Punishment historically has been done as a method for society to formally state what the normal behaviors are because for the most part society is afraid of things.
·         Capital punishment is the last of the poplar punishments used in early criminal justice.
·         For example, woman who wore an “A” on their dresses were labeled as a Scarlette.
·         The worst time to have a death punishment is back before the 18th century, before laws.
·         This was harsh punishment because other towns did not trust wonderers that came into their town.

Mandapanda I think I like the 'tight nit group' best! lol. I had to give a lecture to some first year midwifery students recently on documenting in patient's charts. I quoted a few of their mistakes at the end for some light relief. My favourite was, "I waited for the unpractical cord to stop beating then I cut it off."


message 2: by Kim (new)

Kim Unpractical cord! I love that one.
I think my favorite might be the student who thinks that hood is the past tense of to hide.

Lisa Henry The worst time to have a death punishment is back before the 18th century, before laws.

Death was so much deadlier then. :)


message 4: by Kim (new)

Kim It was. And there were no laws!


Karma♥Bites ^.~ Good grief! I so want to ask... Nope, can't do it. Too afraid to know the answer.

I found this by way of Lisa... So very simply, thanks for the chuckles, as well as the pain of knowing that these were written by university students. And people wonder "why/how" about some books these days. *SMH*

Ami People had to walk with a letter such as A for mining adultery
Mining adultery!! I would like to visit those mines if they are still exist, please.


message 7: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Henry I also love this beyond words:
While patrolling the park they noticed a skeptical group of people dealing with drugs.


Mandy*reads obsessively* · Punishment historically has been done as a method for society to formally state what the normal behaviors are because for the most part society is afraid of things.

Wow! Scary that, and of course it worries me that I *think* I know what was actually being said!

@Ami, those mines are very dangerous, nakkid people running around adulterating! ;)

What, you have that in Germany? Is it on any tourist guide books? *hahaha*


Mandy*reads obsessively* *cough* it's a national secret, I had to marry one to find out where they are! ;)


message 11: by [deleted user] (new)

LOL! And they can't blame it on auto correct? Being Norwegian I recognize a LOT of the mistakes, but hello?! I'm not born to the language. I was talking to a guy on an on-line dating service who claimed to be an American. His spelling was horrible, so much so that I couldn't talk to him anymore. I mean, was he stupid? Was he trying to fool me? Was he an alien from outer space!?
On the other hand, Norwegians doesn't seem to know their own language either......

PS: Loved Brute!

I'm glad you enjoyed! Reading these is both painful and amusing, isn't it?

Yes, the famous Adultery Mines. They're a tourist attraction nowadays.

Skeptical drug dealers are very noticable, I guess.

Sometimes I have to guess what the students are thinking.

Thank you! :-)
English is hard to spell, but these were papers that the students had plenty of time to proofread, if they made the effort.


Karma♥Bites ^.~ Kim wrote: "... English is hard to spell, but these were papers that the students had plenty of time to proofread, if they made the effort."

Um, IDK, Kim... some of these go beyond the realm (read: help) of proofreading/auto-correct. *SMH* Case in point:

"They came across a job like this but they instead of helping them they told them to get there them self’s."

Did you even understand what the student was trying to say?


message 18: by Kim (new)

Kim I have no idea what that student was trying to say and I'm not sure he knew either.
