Student spelling aint so bad

Opinionpanel, the student research panel, produce an e-newsletter.

In this month’s we learn that student spelling and grammar isn’t as bad as some complain.

Research showed nearly all students canvassed knew the difference between 'their', 'there' and 'they're' (97%), 'accept' and 'except' (96%) and 'loose' and 'lose' (97%).

There were some words that tripped them up though.

35% of students thought 'necessary' was spelt 'neccessary' and over two thirds of students (71%) thought that 'stationary' was for writing on.
