My daughter, who's in second grade, has all the makings of a natural copyeditor. She was outraged recently when a grammar page at school read, "I ate a cookie for "desert." She alerted her teacher, who said she would write the textbook publisher.
Another spelling mistake that's very common, but I can't figure out why: writing "loose" (as in, not tight) when the writer actually means "lose" (as in, not win.) I saw it in instructions in a new badminton set today.
