These little gems are always interesting, though I think they sometimes
betray an attitude towards students that wouldn't bear much thinking about.
But I would add that I've gotten some bizarre things from students in the
last thirty years; on occasion I've asked them about it ,and reasonably
often they know exactly the right answer (or spelling or whatever) but for
whatever reason (anxiety or hurry comes to mind) they did something dumb on
the test paper. It might be something to remember while we are constructing
complex theories about mysterious terms that appear in medieval MSS.
