They will be driving soon

My middle school darlings made the following errors this week.
1. Within one paper the word, "octubre" went through the following transformations:
octubre
octure
octurede
ocurede
ocureded
ocureded

2. The question was, "What would the pros and cons be if you were no longer allowed to use your lockers?"
Answer: "You would half to carry your boobs everywhere you go."
(It was a 6th grade boy. Poor thing--puberty is not kind.)

These seem like spellchecker-assisted errors. I had a gem (not from a middle schooler) of this genre: a student described an excellent scholar as the Val Victorian of his school.
