[etni] Re: Disregarding spelling errors!

**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il   http://www.etni.org   ****

I would call those grammar errors, not spelling errors.  However, if a
student writes "tired" instead of "tried", that's a spelling error, I think,
despite the fact that they're two very different words.  I find that a lot
of kids who have this dispensation tend to write letters in the wrong order.
Confusing "who" and "how" is a big one, too (they don't read those two
correctly, either).
