Apparently a worrying number of UK undergrads are so bad at spelling that a member of staff at Bucks New University has been 'forced to ignore common errors altogether,' and to just accept them as 'variants.'

According to a senior criminology lecturer at Bucks New University, first year students are the worst offenders, claiming that "atrocious" spelling was rife amongst them. He says that common words like "their", "speech" and even "Wednesday" are all regularly misspelt, as well as 'failing to apply basic rules, such as "i before e, except after c".

Are these students showing a lack of basic literacy? Or are they just still a bit smashed from all the snakebite and black?
