medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
This is not medieval, but in my western civ class I had a student, with
no other evident signs of dyslexia, who consistently, i.e. more than
once or twice, spelled the name Stalin as Stanli (pronounced, of course,
Stanley). So we learned that some guy named Stanli took over the
communist government from Lenin and committed atrocities on the Russian
people.

Borrowing from another discipline:
A Political Science prof took a while to figure out why the "Spring
Coat" was handing down judicial decisions. And did you know the plual of
"Roman" is "Romen"?
