Who says misspelled words are all that bad?

Spell check?  It's for the birds and computer nerds. Bring on the misspellings! (and run ons!)

How boring it must be for a teacher to take her work home to grade only to see these funny misspelled words, giggle to herself, and then pass the paper out to the children the next day.  

I am fortunate.  During the grading I call Katie and read it to her exactly as she spelled it.  
Today's word was "tharfor".  
I put on my best pirate voice. I said, "Arrrrg me Katie.  Come to me.  Be ye tharfor arrrrrrrg merciful...."   She erupts in laughter.
